The answer is a if the line is dotted/dashed. The answer is c if the line isn't dotted/dashed.
To find the average rate of change, evaluate the function at the given points.
Evaluate the difference of the function at the given points.
Divide the difference of the function at the given points with the difference of the given points.
Answer:
The equation of the line is,

Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to write it in a form of y = mx + b :




When both lines are parallel to each other, they will have to same gradient value. So the equation of the line is y = (-2/5)x + b. Next, you have to find the value of b by substutituting (-10,3) into the equation :
