The average rate of change is -5 per month
How to determine the average rate of change?
The interval is given as:
July to December
From the graph, we have:
July = 110
December = 30
The average rate of a function over the interval (a, b) is calculated as:
Rate = [f(b) - f(a)]/[b - a]
So, we have:
Rate = (30 - 110)/(December- July)
This gives
Rate = (30 - 110)/(12 - 7)
Evaluate
Rate = -16
Hence, the average rate of change is -5 per month
