Respuesta :

The average rate of change of a function between the values x=a and x=b is:

[tex]\frac{g(b)-g(a)}{b-a}[/tex]

In this case a=-6 and b=2; from the grapg we notice that g(-6)=-1 and that g(2)=-1; plugging these values we have:

[tex]\frac{-1-(-1)}{2-(-6)}=\frac{-1+1}{2+6}=\frac{0}{8}=0[/tex]

Therefore, the average rate of change is 0
