0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this example we use this rule:

Δx/Δy

x is amount that changed. so Δx=0,99.

How we get 0.99.

Our storm is to 3 to 6 so we find difference for x : for 3rd and 6th member of table ... 3.88-2.89=0.99

Now we have:

0.99/Δy

Because we need to find from 3 to 6, Δy=3,

When we find both, we can find rate of change with:

0.99/3=0.33
