The average rate of change is given by [f(b) - f(a)]/(b - a), where a and b represent the interval [a, b].
Let a = -2
Let b = -1
[(-1)^2 + 10 - ((-2)^2 + 10)]/(-1 -(-2))
[1 + 10 - (4 + 10)]/(-1 + 2)
[1 + 10 -4 -10]/(1)
[1 - 4]/(1)
-3/1
Answer: -3
Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be the equation of the perpendicular line.
Two perpendicular lines have slopes with product equal to -1. The slope of the given line is Hence,
is the slope of needed line.
This line passes through the point (-4,2), so its coordinates satisfy the equation:
Therefore, the equation of the line is
