Answer:
a. -5
b.-5
c.-5
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the average rate of change of a function , we divide the change in the output value by the change in the input value.
Generally, the average rate of change (ARC) on an ecuatios between two points (x1,f(x1)) and (x2,f(x2)) is
- ARC = [f(x2)-f(x1)]/ (x2-x1)
<em>In case a)</em>
f(-1)= -5*(-1)-8=5-8= -3 f(3)= -5*3-8= -23
Then ARC= (-23-(-3))/(3-(-1))=-20/4=-5
<em>In case b)</em>
f(a)= (-5a-8)
f(b)= (-5b-8)
Then ARC= [(-5b-8)-(-5a-8)]/(b-a)= (-5b+5a)/(b-a)= -5(b-a)/(b-a)= -5
<em>In case c)</em>
f(x)= -5x-8
f(x+h)= -5(x+h)-8= -5x-5h-8
then ARC= [(-5x-5h-8)-(-5x-8)]/(x+h-x) =-5h/h= -5

Step-by-step explanation:
You can try and use desmos.com to help you graph these 2 points. My algebra teacher recommended it if you don't have a physical graphing calculator!
X-12=20
x=20+12
x=32
answer is 32
