Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
The constant rate of change of the ordered pairs can be termed as the slope.
Slope is expressed as m = Δy/Δx
m = [tex]\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Using the coordinates when x₁ =1, y₁ = 2 and when x₂ = 3, y₂ = 10 according to the table.
Substituting this coordinates into the slope equation.
[tex]m = \dfrac{10-2}{3-1} \\\\m = \frac{8}{2}\\ \\m = 4[/tex]
Hence the constant rate of change of the ordered pairs is 4
Note that no matter the value of the coordinates used, you will still get the same constant since they are directly proportional.
