Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of a relationship is the ratio of corresponding changes in value. Symbolically, we indicate a change with the greek letter Δ (pronounced "delta"). A change in x is written Δx ("delta eks") and a change in y is written Δy ("delta why"). We're looking for the ratio Δy/Δx ("delta y over delta eks").

Mathematically, Δx and Δy are the differences between two corresponding x an y values. To pick these, we can take any two rows in our table. Let's pick rows 4 and 2, nice whole numbers:

We can confirm that this holds for every other pair, too - picking rows 2 and 1 as an example:

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
