Use the coordinates (1997, 1.26) and (2006, 2.31) to find the slope, or rate of change, between the two points. Describe how you arrived at your answer.

\n" ); document.write( "Slope is defined as the change in y (dependent variable)/change in x (independent variable)
\n" ); document.write( "For given ordered pairs, the first number is x, and the second y.
\n" ); document.write( "slope=∆y/∆x=(2.31-1.26)/(2006-1997)=1.05/9 \n" ); document.write( "
