The distance (in kilometers) Dora hiked is modeled as a function of time. Consider this graph of the
function. Find the average rate of change in distance hiked, measured in kilometers per hour, between 8:30 a. m to 1:30 p. m. Enter your answer to the nearest whole number.

Given:

The distance (in kilometers) Dora hiked is modeled as a function of time.

We need to determine the average rate of change in distance hiked, measured in kilometers per hour, between 8:30 am to 1:30 pm.

Average rate of change:

Let us write the time and the distance hiked in coordinates for the time 8:30 am and 1:30 pm.

Thus, the coordinates are (8.30, 4) and (1,12)

The average rate of change can be determined using the formula,

Substituting the points (8.30, 4) and (1.30,12), we get;

Rounding off to the nearest whole number, we get;

Therefore, the average rate of change is -1.

the answer is 99.
