Answer:
The average rate of change is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the values of y when x = 0 and when x = 2, we can graph the equation using a graphing calculator.
Looking at the graph, we can see that when x = 0 y = 5 and when x = 2 y = 13
Now that we have two points (0,5) and (2,13) we can find the rate of change
To find the rate of change we use this equation: [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
Let's input the values from our two points
[tex]\frac{13-5}{2-0}[/tex]
Simplify: [tex]\frac{8}{2}[/tex] = 4
