Answer:
A. 2.2
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change between 2 x values is the total change of the y values (output values) divided by the change in the x values.Slope is special situation of that.
point 1 (x₁,y₁) → ( 2,7.5)
point 2 (x₂,y₂) → ( 18,42.5)
slope = 42.5 -7.5/18-2 =35 / 16 = 2.1875 ≈ 2.2
