Answer:

A ) 6

Explanation:

The formula for Average rate of change is:

Aroc = change in y / change in x.

Aroc = y2-y1 / x2 - x1

The first point will be (x1,y1), and second will be (x2,y2).

x1 is 0, and when the x value is at 0, the y value is at -7, so the coordinate point is (0, -7).

For the second point, x = 2, and the corresponding y value is 5. So you just simpliy plug everything into the formula to find AROC:

= 5 - (-7) / 2 - 0

= 12 / 2

= 6
