Rate of Change

Determining Slope of Graphed Lines

 

The slope of graphed lines can help show how quickly 2 variables change in relation to each other. When time is on the X-axis, the slope can be determined as a rate of change.

The rate of change is another way to report results of an experiment, and is also helpful in comparing 2 or more sets of data.
