Question

Help please, it’s for average rate of change.

Answer 1

Answer in fraction form = -3/2

Answer in decimal form = -1.5

=========================================

Work Shown:

$m = \frac{g(b)-g(a)}{b-a}\\\\m = \frac{g(1)-g(-3)}{1-(-3)}\\\\m = \frac{0-6}{1-(-3)}\\\\m = \frac{0-6}{1+3}\\\\m = \frac{-6}{4}\\\\m = -\frac{3}{2}\\\\m = -1.5$

Effectively, we're finding the slope through the points (-3, 6) and (1, 0)

The g(b)-g(a) represents how y changes when going from x = a to x = b.
