Question

The function y = f ( x ) y=f(x) y=f(x) is graphed below. What is the average rate of change of the function f ( x ) f(x) f(x) on the interval − 5 ≤ x ≤ 3 -5\le x \le 3 −5≤x≤3? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 -8 -9 -10 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 -2 -4 -6 -8 -10 -12 -14 -16 -18 -20

Answer 1

( final y - initial y ) / ( final x - initial x )
