I can't read the picture you referenced. To find the average rate of change between x = 3 and x = 9 use the formula

average rate = [f(9) − f(3)] / (9 − 3) = [f(9) − f(3)] / 6.

Read the y-values at x = 3 and x = 9 from the graph, plug them into that formula, and simplify. If you tell me the values you see for f(3) and f(9), I’ll compute the numerical answer.
