Use the table to estimate the rate of change of y at the specified value of x.
-When exposed to ethylene gas, green bananas will ripen at an accelerated rate. The number of days for ripening becomes shorter for longer exposure times. Assume that the table below gives average ripening times of
Bananas for several different ethylene exposure times:
$\begin{array}{l}
\text { Exposure timeRipening Time }\
\begin{array} { l | l }
\text { (minutes) } & \text { (days) } \
\hline 10 & 4.2 \
15 & 3.5 \
20 & 2.6 \
25 & 2.1 \
30 & 1.1
\end{array}
\end{array}$
Plot the data and then find a line approximating the data. With the aid of this line, find the limit of the average ripening Time as the exposure time to ethylene approaches 0. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
A) $5.8$ days
B) $2.6$ days
C) 0.1 day
D) 37.5 minutes
