Answer:

The correct option is A.

Explanation:

From the given table it is noticed that the function passing through the points (8,0), (5,4) and (-5,19).

The average rate of change from x₁ and x₂ is


m=(f(x_2)-f(x_1))/(x_2-x_1)

The average rate of change for the given function, from x = 8 to x = 5 is


m=(f(5)-f(8))/(5-8)


m=(4-0)/(-3)


m=-(4)/(3)

Therefore the option A is correct.
