f(x) = 5x is linear. Just a straight line with a slope of +5. So if the intervals are both a difference of 1, then the average rate of change will be the same.
f(x2) - f(x1) over x2 - x1. That's the formula for average rate of change.
So for Section A:
f(x) = 5x, (0,1)
[f(1) - f(0)]/(1-0)
= [5(1) - 5(0)]/1
=(5)/1
=5
Do the same for section B and you'll get 5 as well.
I hope this helps you because I have no clue if my answer is right
(4,3)(2,2)
slope = (2 - 3) / (2 - 4) = -1/-2 = 1/2
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1/2
use either of ur sets of points...(4,3)...x = 4 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = 1/2(4) + b
3 = 2 + b
3 - 2 = b
1 = b
so ur equation is : y = 1/2x + 1 <==
I think it's 85 but Is this like a multiple choice question?
