Rates of change are seen everywhere.

The steepness of the roof of a house is referred to as the pitch of the roof by home builders.
![Page 5: Section 4.2 rate of change (math)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/555a01a2d8b42ad00a8b4f89/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Give one reason why some homes have roofs which have a greater pitch.
There is less snow buildup in the wintertime.

Engineers refer to the rate of change of a road as the grade.

They often represent the rate of change as a percentage.

A grade of 8% would mean for every rise of 8 units there is a run of 100 units.

= 8%
Rate of change = 8
