Find the rate of change​

280 graduates per year

Step-by-step explanation:

the rate of change is the change in y (number of graduates) divided by the change in x (year).

So: because this number is in thousands of graduates, multiply by 1000 to get 0.28*1000=280 graduates per year

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the coordinates (2005, 7.5) and (2010, 8.9). To find the rate of change we must use the equation which is . To simplify that further, we get therefore the rate of change is 1.4 over 5.
