parallel lines have the same exact slope hmmm what's the slope of y = 2/3x-7 anyway? well, low and behold, is already in slope-intercept form, therefore
.
so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 2/3, and runs through 3, -1.

Y = 1/3x - 2.
If you sub in 0, you’ll get (0, -2) which is the y intercept.
I’m not 100% sure but isn’t it x2 +xy +y2?
At x=2, y=4
At x=4, y=16
So the total change in y from x=2 to x=4 is 16-4=12
And since average rate of change = total change in y divided by total change in x within the same period, therefore the answer is 12/2 = 6
Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
