Can you identify a pattern of change between each column in the table?
A
Practice makes perfect
Rate of change describes how one quality changes in relation to another.
Rate of change=Change in Seeds/Change in Apples
When the rate of change is the same each time, it is called a constant rate of change. To find the constant rate of change in the given table, let's see if we can identify a pattern between each column. We will rotate the table so it will be easier to read.
Looking at the changes in the table, we see that every time the number of seeds increases by 40, the number of apples increases by 4. We can substitute these values into the equation.
