Question

(03.04) Use the graph below for this question: What is the average rate of change from x = −3 to x = 5? (1 point)

A.−1
B.0
C.1
D.8

Answer 1

B. 0

Explanation:

Rate of change from x = -3 to x = 5

Rate of change =
`(f(b) - f(a))/(b - a)`

where, from the graph, we have:

a = -3, f(a) = -1,

b = 5, f(b) = -1,

Plug in the values

Rate of change =
`(-1 -(-1))/(5 - (-3))`

Rate of change =
`(0)/(8)`

Rate of change = 0
