given the function, there is no independent variable, x. Because of that your equation remains constant at the y axis, where you get f(x)=57. This means that for any input of x you’ll get 57 as the output. Because youre looking for average rate of change, you would use delta y/ delta x.
(2,57) and (6,57)
When you solve for change between the y and x, you get (57-57)/(6-2 ) which ultimately gives you an average rate of change of 0.
Step-by-step explanation: Since the club split the pies into 5 pieces and then had a total of 45 slices, you would first divide 45 by 5 and you would get 9. The question stated that the cafeteria gave 2 pies and they are asking how much the club made. So you would subtract 9 by 2 to get 7. This concludes to that the club made 7 pies in total. Hope that helps!
