First of all, a positive average rate of change means that the function is increasing, so the answer can only be A->B or B->C.
The average rate of change is defined as
i.e. as the ratio between the vertical and horizontal gain.
In order to go from point A to point B, you gain 1 unit horizontally and 5 units vertically. So, the average rate of change is 5/1=5.
In order to go from point B to point C, you gain 1 unit horizontally and 3 units vertically. So, the average rate of change is 3/1=3.
Answer:
⟨-5, -1⟩
Step-by-step explanation:
Vector:
A vector is given by its endpoint subtracted by its initial point.
Vector u has initial point at (3, 9) and terminal point at (–7, 5)
Then
Vector v has initial point at (1, –4) and terminal point at (6, –1).
Then
What is u + v in component form?
⟨-5, -1⟩ is the answer.
