Which point on the number line is located at approximately 13/17

A number line consists only of one axis, conventionally a horizontal axis. Just create a line, and scale it according to practicality and your preference. Usually, it has an interval of 1 unit. But for this case, since it is in fraction form, the interval should be smaller so that you can see clearly where it is located. 

In decimal form, 13/17 is equal to 0.7647058824. Let's just round this off to 0.764, that can suffice already. So, you would expect it to be between 0.7 and 0.8 on the number line. Just estimate visually where it is located. Since, it is more than 0.75, the dot would be just slightly closer to 0.8 than 0.7. The exact location is shown in the attached picture.

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

f(-2) = -3f(1) = 6 . . . estimated from f(x) = (x+2)^2-3, which matches points on the graph (-1,-2) and (0, 1)

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

g(-2) = 1g(1) = 31

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
