A flower bed in the corner of your yard is in the shape of a right triangle. The perpendicular sides of the bed measure 7 feet and 9 feet. Calculate the area of the flower bed.
a. 39.5 sq. ft
C. 21.5 sq. ft
b. 31.5 sq. ft
d. 11.5 sq. ft

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
