Question

Please help me with the second one what is the average rate of change over the interval?

Answer 1

We will have the following:

*First: We determine the points:

(1, 1)

(0, -1)

*Second: We determine the average rate of change over that interval:

$m=\frac{-1-(1)}{0-(1)}\Rightarrow m=2$

So, the average rate of change over the interval [1, 0] is 2.
