What is an approximate average rate of change of the graph from X =22 and x = 26

On the graph you can read that at x = 22, f(x) ≈ 12, and at x = 26 f(x) ≈ 7.

So, an approximate rate of change from x = 22 to x = 26 is given by the equation below:

                                           change on f(x)        7 - 12

average rate of change = =     = -5/4

                                           change of x           26 - 22

That rate represents that the ball fell about 5 ft per 4 ft in that interval.
