The answer is A,
if you plug in the points of (2,-5) into
y=x-7
-5=2-7
-5=-5
so the equation is true
The answer would be 4
(Positive 4 btw)
The given sequence is:

a(2)=1
a(3)=3
a(4)=9
We are to find the average rate of change between n=3 and n=4 for the given function.
Average rate of change =

So the average rate of change for the given function from n = 3 to n = 4 is 6
Answer:
Rate of change = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
f(x) = -½(x + 2)² + 5
Required:
Average rate of change from x = -3 to x = 1
Solution:
Rate of change = 
Where,
a = -3,
f(a) = f(-3) = -½(-3 + 2)² + 5 = -½(-1)² + 5 = 4.5
b = 1,
f(b) = f(1) = -½(1 + 2)² + 5 = -½(9) + 5 = 0.5
Plug in the values into the formula:
Rate of change = 
Rate of change = 
Rate of change = -1
