Use the image to answer the question.
A curve with 3 points is plotted on a coordinate plane. The x-axis ranges from negative 1 to 3 and the y-axis ranges from negative 1 to 5, both by 1-unit increments.
Use the average rate of change to describe the graph of f(x) over the interval [1,4].

This is calculated by finding the difference in y-values between the points at x=1 and x=4, which is (0 - 9) = -9. Then, divide by the difference in x-values, which is (4-1) = 3. So, -9 / 3 = -3. Therefore, the average rate of change is 3.
