Step-by-step explanation:
*Note:
Rate of change is slope.
Step 1: Define
Identify.
Point (-1, -1)
Point (1, -1)
Step 2: Find slope m
Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m.
- Substitute in points [Slope Formula]: [tex]\displaystyle m = \frac{-1 + 1}{1 + 1}[/tex]
- [Order of Operations] Simplify: [tex]\displaystyle m = \frac{0}{2}[/tex]
- Simplify: [tex]\displaystyle m = 0[/tex]
