Question

Use the table below to answer this question:

find the average rate of change for the given function from x = -1 to x = 5

Answer 1

Average rate of change is slope. The equation for slope is m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). (x2, y2) will be (5, 1) and (x1, y1) will be (-1, 7). Plug in and solve:

(7-1)/(5--1)

6/6
