If I am not mistaken, the slope would be -14.

Answer:

$A) \hspace{3}Rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change=-5\hspace{3}Negative\\\\B)\hspace{3}Rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change=-21\hspace{3}Negative$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a function $f(x)$ , we called the rate of change to the number that represents the increase or decrease that the function experiences when increasing the independent variable from one value " $x_1$ " to another " $x_2$ ".

The rate of change of $f(x)$ between $x_1$ and $x_2$ can be calculated as follows:

$Rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change=f(x_2)-f(x_1)$

For:

$f(x)=x^2-2x+4$

Let's find $f(x_1)$ and $f(x_2)$ , where:

$[x_1,x_2]=[-4,3]$

$f(x_1)=f(-4)=(-4)^2-2(4)+4=16-8+4=12\\f(x_2)=f(3)=(3)^2-2(3)+4=9-6+4=7$

So:

$Rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change =7-12=-5\hspace{3}Negative$

And for:

$f(x)-3x+2$

Let's find $f(x_1)$ and $f(x_2)$ , where:

$[x_1,x_2]=[-4,3]$

$f(x_1)=f(-4)=-3(-4)+2=12+2=14\\f(x_2)=f(3)=-3(3)+2=-9+2=-7$

So:

$Rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change =-7-14=-21\hspace{3}Negative$

<em>Translation:</em>

Dada una función $f(x)$ , llamábamos tasa de variación al número que representa el aumento o disminución que experimenta la función al aumentar la variable independiente de un valor " $x_1$ " a otro " $x_2$ ".

La tasa de variación de $f(x)$ entre $x_1$ y $x_2$ , puede ser calculada de la siguiente forma:

$Tasa\hspace{3}de\hspace{3}variacion=f(x_2)-f(x_1)$
