Practice makes perfect
To determine the rate of change in distance for the car in the task, let's see if we can identify a pattern of change between each row in the given table.
Rate of change is defined as the change in dependent variable over the change in independent variable.
rate of change=Change in distance/Change in time
Looking at the patterns of change in the table, we see that every time the value of time increases by 15, distance increases by 20. We can substitute these values into the equation to obtain the rate of change.
