The table below represents the distance a person runs as a function of time:

The average rate of change of the function between x = 10 to x = 16 is __________ m/s and represents the person's speed.

i say 3, wouldn't it?

anonymous · Answer

wait, average rate of change would be the slope, right?

anonymous · Answer

average rate of change = f(b) - f(a)/b - a    right?

nnesha · Answer

yes right

nnesha · Answer

nope 3 is not right :(

agl202 · Answer

average rate of change =  (change in y)/(change in x)
                                    = (96 - 60) / (16 - 10)
                                    =  36/6
                                    = 6

Hope this helped!

ok so 

avergae rate = 96 - 60 / 16 - 10 = 36/6 = 6
