Rate of change is a mathematical term. Essentially, it means the ratio of difference in values of a variable during a time period to the actual length of the period.

What does rate of change mean in math?

A rate of change in a variable Y, if not further qualified, is the change in Y for a unit change in time. However, the rate of change may be defined in terms of a unit change in some other variable (X). In graphical terms, the rate of change for a straight line is its gradient whereas for a curve, the rate of change at a point is the gradient of the tangent to the curve (if a tangent can be defined).


Does rate of change mean the same as slope?
