Which shows the list of numbers in order from least to greatest? |-4.2|, |-4/5|, |-1|, -2, |3.5|

A. -2, |-4/5|, |-1|, |3.5|, |-4.2|
B. -2, |-1|, |3.5|, |-4.2|, |-4/5|
C. -2, |-4/5| |-1|, |-4.2|, |3.5|,
D. |3.5|, |-4/5|, -2, |-1|, |-4.2|,

The answer is A.-2, |-4/5|, |-1|, |3.5|, |-4.2|

Step-by-step explanation:

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
