Answer:

average rate of change = - 15

Explanation:

the average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is


(f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)

for the interval - 4 ≤ x ≤ - 2 , then a = - 4 and b = - 2 , so

f(b) = f(- 2) = - 20 ← point (- 2, - 20 ) on graph

f(a) = f(- 4) = 10 ← point (- 4, 10 ) on graph

average rate of change =
(-20-10)/(-2-(-4)) =
(-30)/(-2+4) =
(-30)/(2) = - 15
