Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-5,3) and (7,9).

slope is 1/2 or 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔX = 7 – -5 = 12

ΔY = 9 – 3 = 6

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
