Compare Rates of Change

Give students practice finding the rate of change—or slope—of a linear function with this eighth-grade algebra worksheet! In the Compare Rates of Change worksheet, students are given pairs of linear functions that are each represented in a different way: with an equation, graph, or table. Students are then asked to find the rate of change for each function and determine which function has the greater rate of change. This worksheet is a great way to prepare students to compare other functions in the future.
