The answer is A.
To find speed/rate of change, divide distance by time.
7 mi/ 1 hr= 7 mph

Answer: A.7 miles per hour


Explanation:

Given: You run 7 miles in one hour and 14 miles in two hours.

We know that

The rate of change of function=
\frac{\text{change in distance}}{\text{change in time}}

Therefore, the rate of change of function for the given situation


=(14-7)/(2-1)=(7)/(1)

Hence the rate of change of function for the given situation= 7 miles per hour.
