You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your function:
F%28x%29=x%5E2

Horizontal Coordinates:
system%28x%5B1%5D=0%2Cx%5B2%5D=4%29

Corresponding Vertical Coordinates:
USE THE FUNCTION AS IT IS DEFINED FOR YOU.
system%28F%280%29=0%5E2=0%2CF%284%29=4%5E2=16%29.

Goal is to find the "average rate of change" between the points (0,0) and (4,16).
Yes; you will do this with the SLOPE of the line between these two points.
