The graph below plots a function f(x): graph of line segment going through ordered pairs 0, 50 and 2,100 and extend beyond 2,100 If x represents time, the average rate of change of the function f(x) in the first two seconds is _______.
The average rate of change will be equivalent to the slope of the line in the first two seconds. Thus: Rate of change = (100 - 50) / (2 - 0) Rate of change = 25 per second.
