Explain the difference between a rate of change that is positive and one that is negative. Give an example of each. O Consider the ordered pair (x, y) where x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable. If y increases with the increase in x, then the rate of change of y is positive. Whereas, if y decreases as x increases, then the rate of change is negative. For example, if you consider the speed of a car (y) over time (x), as the car accelerates, the speed increases with increasing time, and the rate of change of its speed is positive. When the car brakes, the rate of change of its speed is negative, because the speed decreases over time. Consider the ordered pair (x, y) where x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable. If y increases with a decrease in x, then the rate of change of y is positive. Whereas, if y decreases as x decreases, then the rate of change is negative. For example, if you consider the speed of a car (y) over time (x), as the car…
