What is rate of change?

The rate of change function is defined as the rate at which one quantity is changing with respect to another quantity.. The rate of change from the coordinates of y to coordinates of x can found

The y-values are the dependent variables, and the x-values are the independent variables.

According to the question

The rate at which a person reads is  

As, y axis will have word

x axis will have minute

Therefore, rate of change = [tex]\frac{Change in y }{Change in x }[/tex]

rate of change = [tex]\frac{word }{minutes}[/tex]

Now , The y-values are the dependent variables, and the x-values are the independent variables.

So, minutes will be independent .

Hence, the rate at which a person reads is words per minute, because the independent quantity is the minutes.
