Question

The function y=f(x is graphed below. What is the average rate of change of the function f(x)on the interval 0≤x≤5?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the average rate of change is

(f(high interval end) - f(low interval end))/(high interval end - low interval end)

in our case here

(f(5) - f(0)) / (5 - 0)

(-10 - 10) / 5 = -20/5 = -4

Answer 2

$m = \frac{f(5) - f(0)}{5 - 0}$

$m = \frac{ - 10 - 10}{5} = \frac{ - 20}{5} = - 4$
