Answer:
- [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope m between the 2 points is a measure of the rate of change
calculate m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 12 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 6 )
m = [tex]\frac{6-12}{6-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-6}{4}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] ← rate of change
