Sorry for taking long. I was checking to make sure. I think you just find the slope for a straight line passing through those two points. This might help http://home.windstream.net/okrebs/page201.html

phi · Answer

calculate the average rate of change

average rate is change in y minus change in x between the two points.

phi · Answer

I'll do the x part:  x at 1  minus x at 0  = 1
change in x is 1
you can do the change in y

anonymous · Answer

wait I don't understand what you're doing.

phi · Answer

pick the (x,y) points  from the graph  for x=0  and x=1
can you do that ?

anonymous · Answer

uhh figure out slope?

phi · Answer

yes, find the slope between the two points.  But first, you need the 2 points.

anonymous · Answer

How do I find the next point?

@phi

phi · Answer

what is the point on the graph when x=0 ?

anonymous · Answer

its on the y- axis. Sorry I know I'm frustrating.

anonymous · Answer

@phi

phi · Answer

yes, but what is the y value where they put the dot ?

anonymous · Answer

0? @phi

phi · Answer

(0,0) would be where the x and y axes meet
put your finger at (0,0), and slide down until you reach the dot on the curve.
what is the y value (how many steps down ?)

anonymous · Answer

lmao. theres a curve?

anonymous · Answer

I had you till we got to the curve part

phi · Answer

are you looking at the graph you  posted up above?
