Constant rate of change

Changing at the same rate throughout

Functions with constant rate of change

Linear functions

Constant rate in f(x)=mx+cf(x) = mx + c

mm (the gradient)

Two methods to find constant rate

Graphical (gradient) & algebraic (coefficient mm)

Gradient formula (graphical)

vertical changehorizontal change\frac{\text{vertical change}}{\text{horizontal change}}

Gradient in distance-time graph means

Speed (at constant velocity)

Steeper gradient means

Faster rate of change

Constant rate in f(x)=3x+2f(x) = 3x + 2

33

Rate if (20, 2400) on USD-yen graph

120 yen per dollar

Real-world constant rate examples

Pay rate, unit pricing, water filling, currency exchange
