To find the rate of change based on the situation provided, we'll calculate the average speed.
1. **Distance covered in 1 hour**: 7 miles
2. **Distance covered in 2 hours**: 14 miles
The total distance covered in the 2 hours is 14 miles. To find the average speed (rate of change) over these 2 hours:
\[
\text{Average speed} = \frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}} = \frac{14 \text{ miles}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 7 \text{ miles per hour}
\]
Thus, the rate of change is **7 miles per hour**.
