Answer: -18
<u>Explanation:</u>
Average rate of change is slope:
. Need to find the y-coordinates:
g(x) = -x² - 4x
g(6) = -(6)² - 4(6)
= -36 - 24
= -60
⇒ (6, -60)
g(8) = -(8)² - 4(8)
= -64 - 32
= -96
⇒ (8, -96)
m = 
= 
= -18
Answer:
y = 1x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the given line has slope +1.
Any line parallel to this line must also have slope +1.
Apply the slope-intercept form y = mx + b:
Inserting -3 for y, 0 for x and 1 for m, we get the y-intercept
-3 = 1(0) + b, which tells us that b = -3 and that the desired equation is
y = 1x - 3
To answer this, we need the original equation.
