Questions: Estimate the average rate of change from when x=3.1 to when x=5.89. (1 point) approximately 6 approximately 0.5 approximately 0.17 approximately -0.17

Solution Steps

• At \( x = 3.1 \), the y-coordinate is approximately 4.
• At \( x = 5.89 \), the y-coordinate is approximately 5.

• Change in y-values: \( 5 - 4 = 1 \).

• Change in x-values: \( 5.89 - 3.1 = 2.79 \).

• Average rate of change: \( \frac{\text{Change in y-values}}{\text{Change in x-values}} = \frac{1}{2.79} \approx 0.36 \).
