Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Plug x=1 into equation
f(x) = -2(1)²+4(1)+6
f(x) = -2²+4+6
f(x) = 4+4+6
y = 14
(1,14)
2) Plug in x=2 into equation
f(x) = -2(2)²+4(2)+6
f(x) = -4²+8+6
f(x) = 16+8+6
y = 30
(2,30)
3) Use slope formula ([tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex])
[tex]\frac{30-14}{2-1}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{16}{1}[/tex]
