Question

Find the average rate of change of a function that contains the points (-2,3) and (2,5)

Answer 1

Answer:
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Rate of change are typically found using
`(y_(2) -y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`.

`(x_(1), y_(1)) = (-2, 3)\\(x_(2), y_(2)) = (2, 5)\\\\(5-3)/(2-(-2)) =(2)/(2+2) =(2)/(4) =(1)/(2)`

Therefore, the rate of change(aka slope) is
`(1)/(2)`.
