Answer:
The rate of change between these on average is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find these, we need to evaluate the equation at both points.
x^2 - 3x - 10
4^2 - 3(4) -10
16 - 12 - 10
-6
This gives us the ordered pair of (4, -6)
x^2 - 3x - 10
6^2 - 3(6) - 10
36 - 18 - 10
8
This gives us the ordered pair of (6, 8)
Now we use these two points in the slope formula to find the rate of change.
m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (8 - -6)/(6 - 4)
m = 14/2
m = 7
