Find the average rate of change of f over the stated interval

Two points on the graph are given. The segment joins the endpoints; it does not assert that the function is linear between them

\[(-1,-5),\quad(1,-7)\]
Coordinates (-1, -5) and (1, -7) joined by a secant segment. Horizontal axis x; vertical axis f(x).-2-1120-8-6-4-22ABxf(x)
\[-1\le x\le 1\]
1 mark

Calculate the signed average rate over this interval. Give an exact value in output units per input unit

Format: Exact value; a fraction is accepted
