How are the average rate of change and the instantaneous rate of change related for ƒ(x) = 2x + 5 ?

Since it is a linear function, that is, it can be represented by a straight line, they are the same.

The slope of the line is constant, so it is the same whether you take an average, or take the instantaneous rate of change.
