Please help What is the average rate of change of fx over the interval 39 Answer in simplified fraction Answer and explanation please class=

Respuesta :

It's the slope of the secant line to f(x) through the points (-3, f (-3)) and (9, f (9)),

[tex]\dfrac{f(9) - f(-3)}{9 - (-3)} = \dfrac{-7 - 1}{12} = -\dfrac8{12} = \boxed{-\dfrac23}[/tex]
