The expression 7•3x is not equal to the expression 21x. You might think that the two expressions are the same since 7x3 is 21 but the first expression is a dot product. This kind of expression includes the magnitude and direction of the vector in an expression, for example, 7•3x. The second expression, 21x, expresses only the magnitude and does not include the direction.

Find the constant rate of change for each linear function and interpret its meaning

Marina CMI [18]

the slope goes by several names

• average rate of change

• rate of change

• deltaY over deltaX

• Δy over Δx

• rise over run

• gradient

• constant of proportionality

however, is the same cat wearing different costumes.

and to get it, we simply need two points off of the straight line, hmm let's use the ones in the picture below.

$(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{6}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{6}-\stackrel{y1}{4}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{6}-\underset{x_1}{2}}}\implies \cfrac{2}{4}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}$
