Question

Use the graph below to answer the following question:

What is the average rate of change from x = 1 to x = 4?

-3

-1

1

3

Answer 1

so you need to use the slope formula basically
change of y over change of x

Answer 2

what are the y values that correspond to the x values asked about

Answer 3

for example
what is f(1)
and
what is f(4)

Answer 4

you will need to find these values first

Answer 5

after that...
use this formula to receive the average rate of change from x=1 to x=4
the formula is:
\[\frac{f(4)-f(1)}{4-1}\]
