For the equation y = 7x – 2, what is the rate of change? what does it mean? explain your answer in simple terms !

slope is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

the rate of change is the slope

in the general equation y = mx + b

x and y are point coordinates (x,y)

b is the y intercept

m is the slope

this is the rate at which the points are changing essentially

a larger slope will produce a steeper line

a negative slope will produce a line pointed downward

a smaller slope will produce a flatter line

-22

times both sides by 2, times () by 8, add alile terms, move terms, add alike and caculate divide both sides by 3
