Select all the correct locations on the table

Q:
Select all the correct locations on the table
Accepted Solution
A:
The desired average rate of change is -60.
Consider the first and the last point of the table.
These points are (1, 27) and (5, -213)
The rate of change of a function is given as:
[tex] \frac{f( x_{2} )-f( x_{1} )}{ x_{2} - x_{1} } [/tex]
xβ is the last point and xβ is the first point. Using the values we get:
[tex] \frac{-213-27}{5-1} \\ \\ = \frac{-240}{4} \\ \\ =-60[/tex]
This means, the first and the last point give an average rate of change of -60.
