answer choices are: -9 -4 -3 -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do we find what f(6) and f(2) are?

OpenStudy (bibby):

there's no function here so f(6) = 2

OpenStudy (bibby):

\[\large \frac{f(2)-f(6)}{2-6}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and f(2) is?

OpenStudy (bibby):

the equivalent y value where x=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 14?

OpenStudy (bibby):

correct. now plug those in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 14-2 }{ 2-6 }\]

OpenStudy (bibby):

simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3?

OpenStudy (bibby):

yep. yay. not nearly as many mistakes this time. I'm proud of myself

OpenStudy (anonymous):
