\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " slowed down at a variable rate, decreasing his speed as time increased, so you have a decreasing line that begins at a point at (\"0\", \"5\") and ends at (\"4\", \"1\"), \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the average rate of change is equal to a \"slope=%281-5%29%2F%284-0%29=-4%2F4=-1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, the average rate of change is \"-1%28m%2Fs%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
