Answer:


(g(7)-g(4))/(7-4)=(5)/(6)

So it looks like C.

Explanation:

Average rate of a function g(x) on the interval from x=a to x=b is given by the formula:


(g(b)-g(a))/(b-a).

You can even say:


(g(a)-g(b))/(a-b).

So we have from x=4 to x=7, so the formula becomes:


(g(7)-g(4))/(7-4)

We are given this is equal to 5/6.
