My guess would be A, but I may be wrong
The average rate of change is calculated as the slope of the line between the two points on the graph. Since at x = 1, y = -3, and at x = 3, y = 1, these are the two points which we calculate the slope from. Using the formula
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (1 - (-3))/(3 - 1)
m = 4/2
m = 2
Therefore the slope, or the average rate of change, between these points is 2.
The answer to A is the pic below
The answer is 18.84 because pie times the radius squared is 18.84
It is A because you have to divide by a negative one
