$-\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for finding the slope of a line when given two points is $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ , aka the change in y over the change in x.

pick one of your coordinate pairs to be $y_2\\$ and x_2 . it doesn't matter which coordinate pair you choose as long as you keep them as $y_2\\$ and x_2 . the remaining coordinate pair will be y_1 and x_1 .

for this example, i'll use (2, 10) for $y_2\\$ and x_2 and (6, 7) for y_1 and x_1 .

**before i begin, i just want to note that you can do these next four steps in any order that you want. i personally prefer to plug in my y-values first and then my x-values, but you can choose to instead plug in the values of each coordinate pair (like starting by plugging in the coordinate pair (2, 10) with 10 for $y_2\\$ and 2 for x_2 ). it's up to you. i'm going to explain the steps by plugging in my y-values first and then my x-values because that's the way i normally do it.

first, start by plugging in the y-value from the coordinate pair of your choosing in for $y_2\\$ . since i chose (2, 10) for $y_2\\$ and x_2 , i'll plug in 10 for $y_2\\$ .

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{10-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

then plug in the remaining coordinate pair's y-value in for y_1 . since the coordinate pair that's left is (6, 7), i will plug in 7 for y_1 .

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{10-7}{x_2-x_1}$

now i'm going to plug in the x-values. i chose (2, 10) to plug in for $y_2\\$ and x_2 , so now i'll plug in 2 for x_2 .

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{10-7}{2-x_1}$

and all that's left to plug in is the x-value from (6, 7), so i will plug that in for x_1 .

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{10-7}{2-6}$

after plugging in all the values, you have $\frac{10-7}{2-6}$ .

subtract 10 - 7 as well as 2 - 6.

$\frac{10-7}{2-6}$ ⇒ $\frac{3}{-4}$

$\frac{3}{-4}$ cannot be simplified, therefore the slope of the line is $\frac{3}{-4}$ or $-\frac{3}{4}$ .

i hope this helps! have a lovely day <3

Answer from: Quest

Answer

1 number

explanation

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number $c\in[0.5,0.75]$ that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number $c\in[0.5,0.75]$ such that

$f'(c) = \dfrac{f(0.75) - f(0.5)}{0.75-0.5},$

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
