What is the average rate of change from x = 0 to x = −2?

How I got that

The graph shows the two points (0,-4) and (-2,2) are on the parabola. The x coordinates of both points are from x = 0 and x = -2 as given in the instructions. Compute the slope of the line through those points. The slope of this line is the exact same as the average rate of change from x = -2 to x = 0.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (2 - (-4))/(-2-0)

m = (2 + 4)/(-2-0)

m = 6/(-2)

m = -3

A negative slope means the line slopes downhill as you move from left to right. This is a negative average rate of change.

the equation for this situation is y=122+45. to solve the equation you would add 45 and 122 to get a total of 167lbs. in conclusion, grace's weight eight weeks ago was 167lbs.  

this is false ^.^ lol
