Question 1068537: Find the average rate of change of g(x) = -3x^2 +7 from x=5 to x=9.
Simplify your answer as much as possible.
NOTES: I am not sure how to approach this problem because two values for x are given.
x=5 to x=9
When I plug in x=5, I get -68
When I plug in x=9, I get -236
How do I answer the question of "average rate of change .... from x=5 to x=9
Step by step solution is appreciated.

It's that simple.
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
average rate of change is [f(b)-f(a)]/(b-a)
that is (-236-(-68))/(9-5)
=-168/4=-42
This is the secant line between the two points.
