Answer:

6

Check if you have written the function equation properly. If you have, this is the answer

Explanation:

Average rate of change is the first differential of the function

Given function is f(x) = 6x + 5

Rate of change = f'(x) = d/dx(6x) + d/dx(5)

= 6 + 0

= 6

The average rate of change(slope) is a constant throughout all values of the function and so also between[4, 7]
