FAQ

What is the average rate of change?

The slope of the straight line joining two points on a curve — how much the output changes on average per unit of input.

How is it different from the derivative?

The derivative is the instantaneous rate at a single point, while this measures the average across an interval.

Can the result be negative?

Yes — a negative value simply means the function decreased on average between the two points.
