Question 1109518: Could someone help? I need to create an equation for a linear function, Function C, with a rate of change that is between (4.5/2) and (2/5).

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Linear equations are of the form
 , where  is usually called slope,
but it could also be called rate of change.
For example, if a small child gets a piggy bank with 5 coins inside,
and each night adds the  coins mom gives him as allowance because he was a good boy,
after  days, the number of coins in the piggy bank,  ,
will be
 , with a rate of change (or slope) of  .
 , and  ,
so a rate of is between the two numbers specified.
