Why would the avg rate of change vary on a exponential function?

Question

Average Rate of Change The average rate of change is the change in value of a quantity divided by the elapsed time. For a function, this is the change in the y-value divided by the change in the x-value. Linear functions have a constant rate of change, meaning it is the same between any two x-values. For linear functions, the rate of change is the slope of the line. For exponential functions the average rate of change is variable; it will vary depending on which interval it is found on.
