To calculate the rate of change, you divide the change in one quantity by the corresponding amount of change in another quantity. Change is represented as the Greek letter delta (Δ), so the basic formula for rate of change is: Exactly how you calculate Δy and Δx will depend on the application. Slope In algebra,… Continue reading How to Use the Rate of Change Formula in Math and Physics
