Question 903567: Do I have this average rate of change of graph correct?
http://i.imgur.com/4CcBUsm.png?1
I put in 2 because:
the points are (1,2)(4,5)
and the slope m=y2-y1/x2-y2 so (4-2)/(5-1) = 2
Is 2 the correct answer?
Thank You

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Look at the graph again carefully. Count the coordinates carefully.
The points ARE as you found, (1,2) and (4,5).
You can evaluate the slope directly on the graph for the two points.

Using the formula for slope, highlight%28%285-2%29%2F%284-1%29=1%29.
