Part Finding Finding Rates Rates of Change of Change Vocabular Tip A rate is a comparison of two quantities measured in different units. The diagram at the right shows the side view of a ski lift.. What is the vertical change from A to B? From B to C? From C to D? ; ; 8 Chapter Linear Equations and Their Graphs. What is the horizontal change from A to B? From B to C? From C to D? ; ; Activit: Eploring Rate of Change. Find the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal 8 change for each section of Horizontal Position (feet) the ski lift. ; ;. Which section is the steepest? How does the ratio for that section compare to the ratios of the other sections? B to C; it has the highest ratio. In the graph above, AB and BC have different rates of change. Rate of change allows ou to see the relationship between two quantities that are changing. If one quantit depends on the other, then the following is true. rate of change Vertical Position (feet) 8 A change in the dependent variable change in the independent variable B C D 8 Special Needs L Have students describe the slope of a model ramp in terms of an measurements the can make.

Cost of Renting a Computer Number of Das Rental Charge $ $7 $9 $ $ Finding Rate of Change Using a Table Business For the data at the left, is the rate of change for each pair of consecutive das the same? What does the rate of change represent? change in cost rate of change change in number of das Cost depends on the number of das. 7 9 7 9 The rate of change for each consecutive pair of das is. The rate of change is the same for all the data. It costs $ for each da a computer is rented after the first da. a. Find the rate of change using Das and. Critical Thinking Does finding the rate of change for just one pair of das mean that the rate of change is the same for all the data? Eplain. No; the rate of change for each consecutive pair of das does not have to be the same. The graphs of all the ordered pairs (number of das, cost) in Eample lie on a line as shown at the right. So, the data are linear. You can use a graph to find a rate of change. Recall that the independent variable is plotted on the horizontal ais and the dependent variable is plotted on the vertical ais. vertical change change in the dependent variable rate of change horizontal change change in the independent variable Cost (dollars) 8 Das.
