Question

(03.04) Use the graph below for this question: What is the average rate of change from x = −3 to x = 5? (1 point)
A.−1
B.0
C.1
D.8

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change from x = -3 to x = 5

Rate of change = $\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

where, from the graph, we have:

a = -3, f(a) = -1,

b = 5, f(b) = -1,

Plug in the values

Rate of change = $\frac{-1 -(-1)}{5 - (-3)}$

Rate of change = $\frac{0}{8}$

Rate of change = 0
