OpenStudy (mrnood):
the average rate of change is
\[\frac{ y _{2} -y _{1}}{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]
read the x1,y1,x2,y2 values from the graph and put them in the equation....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
in not sure the x1,y1,x2,y2 values or how to find them
OpenStudy (mrnood):
The question tells you x2=4, x1=0
Read the y values at those points from the graph and put them in the equation
