Question

Find the average rate of change of a function that contains the points (-2,3) and (2,5).

Answer 1

The slope or rate of change would be 1/2

Answer 2

Answer: The average rate of change is $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Two points are given below:

(-2,3)  and (2,5)

As we know that Average rate of change of function = Slope of line passing through  (-2,3)  and (2,5)

So, Slope of line is given by

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{5-3}{2+2}=\dfrac{2}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Hence, the average rate of change is $\dfrac{1}{2}$
