Understand the concept of slope and rate of change.

Rate of change
Let’s start with a very easy scenario to get ourselves settled and ready to go.
Imagine that car again, but it’s cruising at a constant speed of 30 mph. Not faster, not slower, just a constant 30 mph.
Here’s a table showing the speed at various points in time, measured every half minute:
| Time (mins) | Speed (mph) |
|---|---|
| 0.0 | 30 |
| 0.5 | 30 |
| 1.0 | 30 |
| 1.5 | 30 |
| 2.0 | 30 |
| 2.5 | 30 |
| 3.0 | 30 |
The following graph visualizes this speed at those points in time:
