Question

_________ 5) What is the average rate of change of the function g(x) = -2x +1 over the interval [5, 6]?

Answer 1

-2

Explanation:

They are asking for the slope. y2-y1/x2-x1

Make a table of results for the equation

x y

5 -2(5)+1=-10+1=-9 Y1

6 -2(6)+1=-12+1=-11 Y2

-11--9=-11+9=-2

6-5=1

Average rate pf change os -2/1=-2
