Question
- find the rate of change from the two points. (5,- 4) and (5, 3)
Step1: Recall rate - of - change formula
The rate of change (slope) between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$.
Step2: Identify the coordinates
Let $(x_1,y_1)=(5,-4)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(5,3)$.
Step3: Substitute into the formula
$m=\frac{3-(-4)}{5 - 5}=\frac{3 + 4}{0}=\frac{7}{0}$. Since division by zero is undefined, the rate of change is undefined.
