.

The average rate of change of a function f(x) as x changes from "a" to "b" on the number line, is the ratio average rate of change = . Step by step, it means that you calculate (a) f(a); (b) f(b); (c) the difference f(b)-f(a) <<<--=== in this order (!) (d) the difference (b-a) <<<---=== in this order (!) (e) then divide the difference f(b)-f(a) by the difference (b-a).

Here's a similar example.

Question:
Let f(x) = x^2+7
Find the average rate of change from x = 3 to x = 5

Solution:
Plug in x = 3
f(3) = 3^2+7 = 9+7 = 16
Repeat for x = 5
f(5) = 5^2+7 = 25+7 = 32
These are the y values for the mentioned x inputs.

The two points (3,16) and (5,32) are on the function curve x^2+7

The task of finding the average rate of change is exactly the same as finding the slope of the line through those two points.

m = slope
m = rise/run
m = (change in y)/(change in x)
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (32-16)/(5-3)
m = 16/2
m = 8

The slope of the line through (3,16) and (5,32) is 8, which is the average rate of change.
A real world application would be to look at the average speed of a car over some set amount of time.

Answer: 8

Keep in mind that this is of course just an example and not the answer to your question in particular.
However, you'll follow this same basic outline of steps.
