that works too
`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)`
So what would I do?
use this slope formula \[\Large m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\]
hopefully you've seen it before
It would be -2?
(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
I get it! Thanks!!!
no problem
