Need Help Finding average rate of change on a graph? I have a screenshot of the graph and the question

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change is the slope of the line that connects the points of interest. At x=-6, the point is (-6, 8). At x=-5, the point is (-5, 5).

I find it easy to refer to the graph to see that the point at x=-5 is 3 units down and 1 unit to the right of the point at x=-6. So the slope of the connecting line is -3/1 = -3.

If you want to find the same result analytically, you can compute ...

... ∆y/∆x = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

... = (5 -8)/(-5 -(-6))

... = -3/1 = -3

Nikitich [7]

Answer: he saved $15

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular price is $5.00 per rose bush, but last week they were on sale at 2 for $8.50. This means that the amount that one would cost is

8.5/2 = $4.25

If Jim bought 20 rose bushes last week, it means that the amount that he paid for 20 rose bushes is

20 × 4.25 = $85

The regular price is $5.00 per rose bush. If he had bought at the regular price, the amount that he would have paid is

5 × 20 = $100

Therefore, the amount saved by the bushes on sale is

100 - 85 = $15

What is the rate of change of the function? On a coordinate plane, a line with negative slope goes through points (0, 1) and (1,
Blababa [14]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope: (y² - y¹) / (x² - x¹)

(-1 - 1) / (1 - 0) = -2 / 1 = -2

y = -2x + b

plug in an (x, y) value to find b

1 = -2(0) + b

1 = -2 + b

b = 3

y = -2x + 3

rate of change is -2
