<p>In this lesson, you will work to show that linear functions change by equal differences over equal intervals while exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals.&nbsp;</p>
<p>When you finish this lesson, you will be able to:&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
  <li> Calculate rates of change of functions given graphs, equations, or tables. </li>
  <li> Use rates of change to describe how a linear function and an exponential function change over equal intervals. </li>
</ul>
<p>Here are the <strong>activities</strong> that will help you reach those goals:</p>
