Question

how do you calculate the slope of a secant line

Answer 1

Using the slope formula

Answer 2

thats is all it is, so if i wanted to calculate the average rate of change between (6, 20.45455) and (2,1.92308) all i do is 20.45455-1.92308)/(6-2)

Answer 3

yup

Answer 4

Think about it....The secant line is, well, just a line :P

Answer 5

oh that is a lot simpler than i was thinking what is this formula for (F(x1,+h)-f(x1))/h

Answer 6

You can still use that formula to calculate it. It's the same thing
