Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following coordinates of two points on the line of the graph shown in the question as: A(2, 1) and B(4, 2)
Vertical change from point A = [tex] y_2 - y_1 = 2 - 1 = 1 [/tex]
Horizontal change from point A = [tex] x_2 - x_1 = 4 - 2 = 2 [/tex]
Rate of change = [tex] \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 [/tex]
