Question

Find the average rate of change of a function that contains the points (-2,3) and (2,5). -2, -1/2, 1/2, 2

Answer 1

The answer is "
`(1)/(2)`".

Explanation:

Given points:

`(-2,3)\\\\(2,5)\\\\`

average rate=?

`x_1=-2\\\\y_1=3\\\\x_2=2\\\\y_2=5`

`average\ rate=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

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