Determine the equation of a straight line passing through two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) by calculating its gradient m using the formula m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

Define the average rate of change of y with respect to x for a function y = f(x) over the domain [a,b] as (Δy)/(Δx) = (change iny)/(change inx), that is (Δy)/(Δx) = (f(b) - f(a))/(b - a), and recognise (f(b) - f(a))/(b - a) as the gradient of the secant through (a,f(a)) and (b,f(b)) on the graph of y = f(x)
