*, i will mark brainliest! * find the rate of change for your data. is this relation a function? why or why not? 10 in, 9 1/16 in 12 in, 11 9/16 in

If we are to treat these as two ordered pairs, then the rate of change is 1.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, use the slope equation with the ordered pairs.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (11 9/16 - 9 1/16)/(12 - 10)

m = (2 8/16)/2

m = 2.5/2

m = 1.25

Now we know that this could be a function since we have a constant slope.
