Rate of change = difference in y over difference in x.
Rate of change = (33-20)/(3-1) = 13/2
Rate of change = (48-33) /(5-3) = 15/2
The rates are not the same so it isn’t linear.
The rate of change for x=3 and x = 5 is greater.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the slope formula
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) for x=3 and x=1
= (33-20) / (3-1)
=13/2
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) for x=5 and x=3
= (48-33) / (5-3)
=15/2
The average rates are not the same
The change from 3 to 5 is higher
