Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given is a graph of a decreasing function.
We are to calculate the average rate of change from -3 to 0
For this we require f(-3) and f(0)
From the graph we can find the values
f(-3) =2
f(0) =0.50
Change of function from -3 to 0 =
[tex]f(0)-f(-3)=0.5-2=-1.5[/tex]
Change in x value =0-(-3) =3
Average rate of change of function=change in f/change in x value
=[tex]\frac{-1.5}{3} \\=-0.5[/tex]
