Answer 3

What are the y-values when x=-3 and x=5

Answer 4

um i dont knew how to find those

Answer 5

So, go to your graph and see when x=3, what the y-value is on the line.

Answer 6

y is -1?

Answer 7

Correct, y=-1 for both x=-3 and x=5

Answer 8

Do you know the slope formula?

Answer 9

y2-y1 average rate of change= -----
x2-x1

Answer 10

Or, do you know the property of the slopes of horizontal lines?

Answer 11

or like said, slope
average rate of change between two points is just the slope of the secant line going through the points

Answer 12

so is it -1-(-3)
5-(-1)

Answer 13

No, it isn't. Make sure to put the points in the correct place in the formula.

Answer 14

no,
y2 is -1 and y1 is -1

Answer 15

-1-(-1)
-3-5

Answer 16

yes now what is it?

Answer 17

Note: x/ 0 = undefined
0/x = 0

Answer 18

y=0
x=-8

Answer 19

And 0/-8 =?

Answer 20

so 0/-8 which is equal to?

Answer 21

so its 0

Answer 22

Correct

Answer 23

is that the answer?

Answer 24

Yes.
