Net change and average rate of change

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Net change =change in y avg rate of change = change in y/change in x

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Would it be -6 and -1, respectively?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

No... find the change in y (ie vertical change) from point 1 to point 2 For part 2, divide that by change in x (horizontal change)

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Thanks, let me go do that...

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Would the point on the left or right be the first point?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Graphs go from left to right.

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Part 1: 2 Part 2: 6

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

CHange in y is 2. change in y/change in x... is not 6.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Change in x is 6.

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

I forgot to divide.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yes :P

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):
