Answer:

The average rate of change for the given function from
x=-1 to
x=4 is
-1.

Explanation:

The slope is the average rate of change of a line. For a straight line, slope remains constant throughout its entire span, It does not change anywhere.

Slope of the line joining
(-1, 5),(4, 0) is,


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\=(0-5)/(4-(-1))\\\\=(0-5)/(4+1)\\\\=(-5)/(5)\\\\=-1

Therefore, the average rate of change for the given function from
x=-1 to
x=4 is -1.
