Interpret rate of change informally as how much one quantity changes for each change in another.

Match a representation to its rate statement

Problem

A table maps \(x~=~2,~3,~4,~5\) to \(y~=~18,~13,~8,~3\). Which complete response correctly describes the change?

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

Read consecutive rows in one consistent direction and keep each x-change paired with its matching y-change. After finding the signed changes, express vertical change per horizontal change and translate the sign into increase or decrease language. A correct rate statement must preserve the magnitude, direction, and which quantity changes for each unit of the other.
