Question

Calculate the average rate of change for the graphed sequence from n = 2 to n = 4.
(2 points)

Answer 1

-3.3125
`(-10.125-(-3.5))/(4-2) =(-6.625)/(2) = -3.3125`

Explanation:

Average rate of change is the slope between two points.

Slope getween points
`\left(x_1,\,y_1\right)` and
`\left(x_2,\,y_2\right)` is
`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`.

Using the points (2, -3.5) and (4, -10.125), the slope is
