Answer

a) Slope: 0 b) Average rate of change: 0 c) See graph d) $G$ is constant

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $G(x)=4$ a) Determine the slope of the function, using the standard form y=mx+b: m=0 Determine the y-intercept: b=4 b) Determine the average rate of change: Δy/Δx=m=0 c) Determine the x-intercepts: $y=0⇒4=0$ Therefore there are no $x$-intercepts. Graph the function. d) As the slope is parallel to the $x$-axis, the function is constant.
