Ratios don't have to be "per" something, while rates are "per" something.
Ratios compare 2 or more values, as well as rates.
If there is such a scalar function <em>f</em>, then



Integrate both sides of the first equation with respect to <em>x</em> :

Differentiate both sides with respect to <em>y</em> :


Integrate both sides with respect to <em>y</em> :

Plug this into the equation above with <em>f</em> , then differentiate both sides with respect to <em>z</em> :



Integrate both sides with respect to <em>z</em> :

So we end up with

Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
I think you misses attaching the photo, so please have a look at my photo for your better understanding.
We know the formula for rate of change of the parabola line:
Given here:
a= 2 => f(a) = 2
b=6 => f(b) = 2
Substitute all the values into the function, we have:

So the rate of change is 3
A is 7 4 and 3..B is the same...This is my first time with this kind of problem....
First, divide each side by 4 to get y alone on the left side.
y=-6/4x+2
The y intercept is 2
