The rate of change is negative one
When you look at the two points and draw a line, you can see that it has a slope of -1 which is the average rate of change for it

Answer:

- 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the close interval [ a, b ] is

[tex]\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]

here [ a, b ] = [ - 4, 1 ]

From the graph

f(b) = f(1) = - 1

f(a) = f(- 4) = 4

average rate of change = [tex]\frac{-1-4}{1-(-4)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-5}{5}[/tex] = - 1
