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

The average rate of change for the function is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a data that represents the set in table as:

    x       y

  –2       7

  –1        6

    0       5

    1        4

Now we know that the average rate of change of a function is equal to the ratio of change in the y-value to the change in the x-value.

The average rate of change is same as slope for a linear function.

By looking at a data we see that the average rate of change is given as:

similarly,

and,

Hence, the average rate of change for the function is -1.
