To find the average rate of change for a function between two given points, you compute the slope of the secant line, that is the line that passes through the two points.

For your function, , the value of the function at is . So your first point is (0,0)

The value of the function at is , so your second point is (3,9)

The slope of the line is given by

Therefore your average rate of change is 3.

The green line is the secant line and the red curve is the original function.
