Use the data in the table to complete the sentence. x y –2 7 –1 6 0 5 1 4 The function has an average rate of change of .

 To find the average rate of change, evaluate the function at the given points.

Evaluate the difference of the function at the given points.

Divide the difference of the function at the given points with the difference of the given points.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Average of rate is -1.

Everytime it goes up by one the y goes down by 1 so it would be -1.

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation

graph of this function as shown below:

-1/2 +2
