(2) Below is the graph of a function, y = f (x). (a) Draw a secant line on the graph above from x = 0 to x = 4. (copy the graph if you are writing your answers on a separate paper)

(b) What is the average rate of change of f (x) from x = 0 to x = 4? Show how you get your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. To draw a secant line, just draw a straight line connecting the 2 points at x = 0 and x = 4.

b. The average rate of change of this line is going to be the change in y / the change in x. The equation will be (f(4) - f(0))/(4 - 0) = (0 - 3) / 4 = -3/4.
