-9 -2
-5 -7
-1 -12
3 -17
ur x's all have a difference of 4, and ur y's all have a difference of -5...so yes, this is linear with a slope of (-7+2) / (-5 + 9) = -5/4
Answer: the average rate of change is 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change is the slope. Therefore, you must use the following formula for calculate the slope:

As you can see in the table, when x=5, y=-2 and when x=9, y=14. Then the points you must substitute into the formula are:
(5,-2) and (9,14)
Then, you obtain:

Here is the equation: (gas=g)
8.5g= 23.94
All you need to do is the inverse of multiplication on the other side. (division)
23.94/8.5= 2.81647.....
g= 2.82 (rounded to the hundredths place)
I hope this helps!
