For each function, use the slope formula to calculate the rate of change between the points. in your final answer, include all of your calculations.
f(x):
(a, f(a) and (b, f(b)
1.) f(x)=x - 3 (0,f(0)) and (6,f(6))
2.) f(x) = -x (-4,f(-4)) and(2,f(2))
3.) f(x)=x2 (-2,f(-2)) and (0,f(0))
4.) f(x)=x3 (-1,f(-1)) and (1,f(1))
5.) f(x)=2x (0,f(0)) and (4,f(4))

answer: a and b

step-by-step explanation:

reduce the friction between its moving parts

step-by-step explanation:

in fact, by reducing the friction between the moving parts of the machine, it is possible to reduce the energy wasted due to this friction; therefore, more input energy is converted into useful work, and this will improve the efficiency of the machine.
