All you need to find is f(2)f(1)21
Here's a "cheat": the rate of change for a line is constant--it's the slope. Thus the average rate of change on any interval where your function is a line should always result in the slope.
Here, we get f(2)f(1)21=11921=21=2 which is the slope of 2t+7, as expected.
