Concept explainers
To define: The average rate of change of a linear function.
Answer to Problem 5RCC
The average rate of change is constant for a linear function. So, the average rate of change remains the same for entire domain of a linear function.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:The average rate of change of a linear function.
The average rate of change between two input values is total change of the function values (output) divided by the change in the input values.
So, the average rate of change is constant for a linear function.
Thus, the average rate of change remains the same for entire domain of a linear function.
The average rate of change of the function
Average rate of change = (Change in
