Answer:

The answer is A.

To find speed/rate of change, divide distance by time.

7 mi/ 1 hour= 7 mph

14 mi/2 hour= 7mph

Explanation:

Answer: A.7 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

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

We know that .. The rate of change of function= (change in distance)/(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.
