The average rate of change of a function, g(x), over an interval [a, b] is given by
Thus, the average rate of change of
over the interval 
is given by:
![Average\ rate\ of\ change= \frac{[-(8)^2-4(8)]-[-(6)^2-4(6)]}{8-6} \\ \\ = \frac{(-64-32)-(-36-24)}{2} = \frac{-96-(-60)}{2} = \frac{-96+60}{2} = \frac{-36}{2} \\ \\ -18](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Average%5C%20rate%5C%20of%5C%20change%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5B-%288%29%5E2-4%288%29%5D-%5B-%286%29%5E2-4%286%29%5D%7D%7B8-6%7D%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%28-64-32%29-%28-36-24%29%7D%7B2%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-96-%28-60%29%7D%7B2%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-96%2B60%7D%7B2%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-36%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20-18)

Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
You need a calculator for this cause the numbers are really large. I used a fx-9860GII Casio calculator. I put the equations on the graph mode. And then I got the x➡️0 for both equations.
I got x=0, y=5000 for the first equation
x=0, y=5200 for the new one.
You can see the y is (5200-5000)=200 more than the old equation. As the x is 0 for both that means the new one moved 200 up for the new one. It goes up cause its positive number .
I put the pictures so you can understand what I'm saying.
