Question

The graph shows the function f(x).

Answer 1

Since we have 2 x values given:

You would need to look into the graph.

As x = 0, y = -1

As x = 2, y = 5

We have 2 coordinate points now YAY!

(0, -1) and (2, 5)

we next find the slope..... using the slope formula if you recall (Hint: $m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$)

$\frac{5-(-1)}{2-0} = \frac{5+1}{2} =\frac{6}{2} = 3$

3 is your average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 2
