Answer: [tex]\frac{6}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Use this [tex]\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex] to find the average rate of change
2. Average rate of change = [tex]\frac{f(8)-f(6)}{8-6}[/tex]
3. [tex]f(8) = - 4[/tex] and [tex]f(6) = -10[/tex] (To find these you will need to look at the points on the graph. So the points (8,-4) and (6,-10))
4. Replace -4 to f(8) and -10 to f(6)
5. So it will look like[tex]\frac{-4-(-10)}{8-6}[/tex]
6. Solve [tex]\frac{6}{2}[/tex]
