The graph below represents a population over time. What is the average rate of
change for the function for the interval (6, 12]?
PLS HELP

Average rate of  change for the function for the interval (6, 12] is 500 people per year.

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the average rate of  change for the function for the interval

(6, 12]

The formula used to calculate Average rate of change is:

We are given a=6 and b=12

Looking at the graph we can see that when x=6 y= 3000 so, f(a)=3000

and when x=12, y=6000 so, f(b)=6000

Putting values in formula and finding Average rate of change:

So, average rate of  change for the function for the interval (6, 12] is 500 people per year.

Option A is correct.

answer

see attachment

explanation

the given function is

this function has y-intercept at

-4 and a slope of 2.

note that, the graph has a positive slope.

the graph that represents this function is the straight line that moves upward from left to right.

the graph touches the y-axis at -4.

the correct choice is the graph shown in the attachment.
