Rate of Change
The relation between two quantities which displays how much greater one quantity is than another is called ratio.
Slope
The change in the vertical distances is known as the rise and the change in the horizontal distances is known as the run. So, the rise divided by run is nothing but a slope value. It is calculated with simple algebraic equations as:
The Slope of a Non-linear Function – Lab
Let’s try to find the slope of the tangent line at a point on a non-linear graph.
For example, we will try to find the slope of the tangent to ?(?) = ?^2 at the point where x = 1.
3) Draw the secant line joining the points on the graph where x = 1 and x = 1.5 on the same graph above. Find the slope of that secant line.
