Let [a, b] = the interval
The average rate of change can be found by using [f(b) - f(a)]/(b - a). 
Let a = 1 and b = 5.
Let R = rate of change
17- x^2
R = [17 - 5^2] - [17 - 1^2]/(5 - 1)
R = [17 - 25] -[17 - 1]/4
R = [(-8) - (16)]/4
R = (-24)/4
R = -6
Done. 
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept cannot be (2,-8). The x-coordinate of the y-intercept is 0. 
Point-slope equation for line of slope -5 that passes through (2,-8):
y+8 = -5(x-2)
