curious question in Calculus.
Since the function is a straight line, it seems very odd to be talking about secant lines, anyway ....
f(7) = 12
f(8) = 15
rate of change = (15-12)/(8-7) = 3
Note that this is the slope of the given line as expected.
The equation of the secant line would of course be the line itself , or f(x) = 3x-9
