Answer:

The average rate of change is 1

Explanation:

The average rate of change can be expressed as the change in y over the change in x, then we can use the following formula:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Therefore, for the given points: (-0.5,2.5) and (0,3)


\begin{gathered} m=(3-2.5)/(0-(-0.5)) \\ m=(0.5)/(0.5) \\ m=1 \end{gathered}
