Use the formula below to find the average rate of change for the data in the chart
\(m = {(y2-y1)}/{(x2-x1)}\)
Hi Rarinstraw :)
Use the formula below to find the average rate of change for the data in the chart
\(\text{Average rate of change}\\ =\frac{-3.5-1.5+0.5+1+0.5+2}{6}\\ =\frac{-1}{6}\)
x | 0 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 |
y | -5 | -2 | -1 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 7 |
y2-y1 | -2-5=-7 | -1-2=-3 | 0--1=1 | 2-0=2 | 3-2=1 | 7-3=4 | |
x2-x1 | 2-0=2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | |
