2
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of the equation during the interval 4 ≤ x ≤ 10
can be represented in this expression if f(x) is substituted for y:
So, the average rate of change (AOC) is 2.
You also could just figure this out by looking at the slope. Since this is a linear equation, the AOC over any interval will always be the same as the slope, since the slope is constant.
