Answer 1

Question: http://prntscr.com/66xprn

Answer 2

Any clue?

Answer 3

alright so rate of change is the same thing as asking for slope

Answer 4

do you remember the equation for slope?

Answer 5

Mk.

Answer 6

y = mx + b?

Answer 7

that's the equation for a line. m is the slope so m=?

Answer 8

um... lost right now

Answer 9

Remind me please?

Answer 10

so we are asked to find the average rate of change for this function from x=-1 to x=2

Answer 11

Alright (btw, I don't have much time left... just a heads up)

Answer 12

alright since I want to help you get it done and learn

Answer 13

\[m=\frac{ y_{2}-y_{1} }{ x_{2}- x_{1} }\]

Answer 14

we can look at the graph since we are given our x to find our y values

Answer 15

Can you plug in the values and show me how to solve briefly?

Answer 16

\[m=\frac{ 4-0 }{ -1-2 }\]

Answer 17

m=-4/3

Answer 18

whoa whoa.. where did 4 come from?

Answer 19

(when you solved above)

Answer 20

nvm

Answer 21

Thanks.

Answer 22

(still didn't partially get it...)

Answer 23

what part are you unsure about?

Answer 24

the 4

Answer 25

when you solved

Answer 26

you look at the graph for it we are told x=-1

Answer 27

we look at x=-1 and then travel up until we hit the line and when x=-1 the line crosses 4 so we have the point (-1,4)

Answer 28

Alright... thanks man. Can you tel me what "y^2" and the other 3 stand for? it'll help me a lot in the future.

Answer 29

My last request, sorry about that.

Answer 30

its not y^2 it's y2 because you are given two points and you are given two point (-1,4) and (2,0). Pick one as point 2 and then plug in it's y value minus the y value of the first point and over it's x value minus the other point's x value

Answer 31

thanks a lot, god bless ya!
