Answer:
The rate of change between these on average is -9
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find these, we need to evaluate the equation at both points.
x^2 - 8x + 15
-3^2 - 8(-3) + 15
9 + 24 + 15
48
This gives us the ordered pair of (-3, 48)
x^2 - 8x + 15
2^2 - 8(2) + 15
4 - 16 + 15
3
This gives us the ordered pair of (2, 3)
Now we use these two points in the slope formula to find the rate of change.
m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (48 - 3)/(-3 - 2)
m = 45/-5
m = -9
