Answer:
Average rate of change = 0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Average rate of change of a function between x = a and x = b is given by,
Average rate of change = [tex]\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]
From the graph attached,
f(-5) = 0
f(0) = 3
Average rate of change of the graph between x = -5 and x = 0,
Average rate of change = [tex]\frac{3-0}{0-(-5)}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
= 0.6
Therefore, average rate of change of the given function between x = -5 and x = 0 is 0.6.
