Answer 3

that works too

Answer 4

`Calculate the average rate of change for the given graph from x = -2 to x = 0`

that's the same as saying

`calculate the slope between the two points (-2,-1) and (0,-1)`

Answer 5

So what would I do?

Answer 6

use this slope formula

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

Answer 7

hopefully you've seen it before

Answer 8

It would be -2?

Answer 9

(x1,y1) = (-2,-1)
(x2,y2) = (0,-1)
\[\Large m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\]
\[\Large m = \frac{-1-(-1)}{0-(-2)}\]
\[\Large m = \frac{-1+1}{0+2}\]
\[\Large m = \frac{0}{2}\]
\[\Large m = 0\]
The slope of the line through the two points (-2,-1) and (0,-1) is m = 0
So the average rate of change from x = -2 to x = 0 is 0

Answer 10

I get it! Thanks!!!
