Look at the graph: Look at the graph and find two points to calculate the rate of change. Let's say the points are (1,3) and (4,15).
Use the formula: Use the formula for rate of change which is (change in height)/(change in time). So, it's (15−3)/(4−1).
Do the math: Do the math: (15−3)=12 and (4−1)=3.
Divide to get rate: Now divide 12 by 3 to get the rate of change. So, 12/3=4.
