Answer 5

whenever you find the difference thats the rate at 7 years divide the difference by 7 and the quotient will be your rate per year

Answer 6

\[\frac{ 2800 }{ 7 }=?\]

Answer 7

At birth, 0 years have passed and your told the weight after seven years. So we could use coordinates to represent this. Average rate of change means slope. So use the slope formula to get your answer. :)
Points: (0, 200) and (7, 3000)
Slope Formula: \[\frac{ y_2 - y_1}{ x_2 - x_1 }\]
