Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Draw or imagine the secant through the two points.
2. Compute its slope using rise over run.
3. State that this slope equals the average rate of change.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Tangent slope when the prompt asks for secant slope.
