Answer:

Explanation:

The

average rate of change

of y over an interval between 2 points (a ,f(a)) and (b ,f(b)) is the slope of the

secant line

connecting the 2 points.

To calculate the average rate of change between the 2 points use.

a

a

f

(

b

)

f

b

f

(

=

and

f

(

1

)

=

1

The average rate of change between (1 ,3) and (4 ,21) is

=

6

This means that the average of all the slopes of lines tangent to the graph of y between (1 ,3) and (4 ,21) is 6.
