Average rate=(change in y)/(change in x)
if f(x)=-x/3
r=( f(2)-f(-2) )/(2--2)
r=(-2/3-2/3)/(2+2)
r=(-4/3)/4
r=-4/12
r=-1/3
For a line, this is always true, since all lines have a constant velocity, the average velocity over any interval is equal to the slope.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
7/x=12/14=6/7
x=49/6=8.167
(5,-3) (-1,6)
y=mx+b
calculate m:
(-3-6)/(5-(-1)
=-9/6=-1.5
y=-1.5x+b
insert the (5, -3) point to calculate b:
-3=-1.5*5+b
-3=-7.5+b
4.5=b
b=the y intercept, so the line intercepts x=0 at y=4.5
It’s -5 slope intercept is whatever point the line crosses the y axis
