kingwood arts education budget
year 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
per - student budget $784 $776 $789 $775 $780
according to the table, what was the rate of change between 2013 and 2014?
$<image> per year

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for rate of change

The formula for rate of change (slope) between two points \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)\) is \(\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\). Let \(x_1 = 2013\), \(y_1=775\), \(x_2 = 2014\), \(y_2 = 780\).

Step2: Substitute values into the formula

\(\frac{780 - 775}{2014 - 2013}=\frac{5}{1}\)

Answer:

\(5\)
