Question

Find the average rate of change for the given function from x = −1 to x = 2.

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

As the function is a linear one so, the rate of change for the given function will be constant and that will be equal to the slope of the straight line.

Now, the straight line passes through the points (-1,-1) and (2,5).

Therefore, the slope or the rate of change of the function will be

`(-1-5)/(-1-2) =2` ( Answer )
