First we need to find f(2) and f(5), which are 5 and 11 respectively; all you have to do is plug in 2 and 5.

Then, we use the following formula:

(f(b)-f(a))/(b-a),

where b and a are the largest and smallest x values respectively.

Finally, we plug our values in:

(11-5)/(5-2)=6/3=2

In fact, the average rate of change of any linear function is just the coefficient of the x term. Hope this helped!
