The average rate of change formula is $$\left(\begin{matrix}f(b)-f(a) \ b-a\end{matrix}\right)$$

Okay, so x=1 will be your B, and x=3 will be your A. To find f(b).. When X is 1, what is y?

anonymous · Answer

so -1 which is b - 3  which is a would be -2

anonymous · Answer

so is the answer -2?

The average rate of change is constant becasue it is a straight line.  The slope between each point is 1, which is the average rate of change.  You could also figure this out by doing a table like this and figuring it out algebraically:|dw:1411353058911:dw|
