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.
What is between 2 and 2.5 is 2.25

Answer:
6 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
speed = distance/time
speed = 1/2÷1/12 which is the same as
1/2 x 12/1 = 6
6 miles per hour.
or ou could change the 1/2 to become 0.5
and the 1/12 to become 0.083333333
and divide 0.5 ÷ 0.083333333 = 6.000000024
rounded to one decima place become 6.0
6 miles per hour
