Answer:

C (1.38)

Step-by-step explanation:

The graphed function has the slope 4/3, which is obvious: As x increases from 0 to 1.5, y increases from -2 to 0. Thus, m = rise / run = 2/1.5 = 4/3.

Which of the given functions have greater rates of change than 4/3? These include A (1.86), B (1.4), C (1.38), E (1.67). Of these, C has the lowest rate of change (1.38).
