Consider the function f(x) = 1 - 6x on the interval [ - 1, 7). Find the average or mean slope of the function on this interval, i.e. f(7) - f( - 1) 7 - (-1) By the Mean Value Theorem, we know there exists a c in the open interval ( - 1, 7) such that f' (c) is equal to this mean slope. For this problem, there is only one c that works. Find it. Question Help: Video Submit
