The average rate of change is the change in the y values divided by the change in x values.

\n" ); document.write( "That's (-4(a+h)+2 - (-4a +2))/(a+h-a) = (-4a -4h + 2 +4a -2)/h = -4h/h = -4

\n" ); document.write( "The average rate of change is the slope of a line. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
