Answer:

C

Explanation:

When we talk of rate of change, we talk of the slope of the line

If we had a line;

y = mx + b

m is the slope ( which is the rate of change)

To get the slope of the line, we select any two points on the line and apply the slope formula

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

let us take points (0,0) and (3,9)

m = 9-0/3-0 = 9/3 = 3

The slope here is 3

so from the option, we can see that the third option is the correct answer
