The average rate of change for a function over an interval is the slope
How to explain the steps?
Take for instance, we have the function to be
Function f(x)
And the interval is (a,b)
The average rate of change for the function over the interval is
Rate = (f(b) - f(a))/(b - a)
The above represents the slope
Take for instance, we have:
f(x) = x^2 [2, 4]
We have:
f(2) = 2^2 = 4
f(4) = 4^2 = 16
So, we have:
Rate = (16 - 4)/(4 - 2)
Rate = 6
