What is the rate of change of a linear function that includes the points (5, 2) and (9, 4)?

The rate of change for this function is 1/2.

In order to find the rate of change, you use the slope equation.

m (slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4 - 2)/(9 - 5)

m = 2/4

m = 1/2

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51
