Frequently Asked Questions
What does average rate of change measure?
It measures how much a function's output changes, on average, for each unit of input over a given interval, the same idea as the slope of the straight line connecting the two points on the function's graph.
How is this different from a derivative?
Average rate of change looks at the overall change between two specific points. A derivative measures the instantaneous rate of change at a single exact point, found by shrinking the interval between the two points down to zero.
How is this related to rise over run?
They use the same formula. Average rate of change is rise over run applied specifically to two points on a function's graph, where the rise is the change in the function's output and the run is the change in its input.
