Explanation
Correct answer: 5.
For the graph shown, represents time, in minutes, and represents temperature, in degrees Celsius . Therefore, the average rate of change, in per minute, of the recorded temperature of the air in the chamber between two x-values is the difference in the corresponding y-values divided by the difference in the x-values. The graph shows that at , the corresponding y-value is . The graph also shows that at , the corresponding y-value is . It follows that the average rate of change, in per minute, from to is , which is equivalent to , or .
