Answer:
-1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is defined as "rise over run". If you count out the units, you should be able to see that your rise is 1 and your run is 3 and is pointing downward, so your answer is -1/3.
Alternatively you could use Slope Formula: 
For this question the answer is -3/2

Answer:
is your average rate of change,
Step-by-step explanation:
average rate of change is
, by slope formula
simplify this to get
, which is the definition of the derivative as h goes to 0

since you defined x=a, we can substitute a for x and vice versa to find our derivative.

simplifying
(your average rate of change)
