Explanation:

i just answered this.

the average change rate is the change of the functional result in a given interval relative (= divided by) to the length of the interval of the input variable.

in short

( f (interval upper limit) - f (interval lower limit) ) /

(interval upper limit) - (interval lower limit)

upper limit = 0

lower limit = -2

the functional values (y) are 6 and 10 at these points.

so, we get

(6 - 10) / (0 - -2) = -4 / 2 = -2
