The average rate of change of this function from x = -2 to x = 2 can be gotten by finding the slope of the line using both x coordintes;

From the graph, when x1 = -2, y1 = 2.5

Also when x2 = 2, y2 = 0.5

Using the formula for calculating slope expressed as;

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

Substitute the given values

m = 0.5-2.5/2-(-2)

m = -2.0/2+2

m = -2/4

m = -1/2

Hence average rate of change of this function from x = -2 to x = 2 is -1/2. Option C is correct.
