Answer 16

You are asked to find "the average rate of change"
(or the "slope") from x=-2 to x=0. In other words,
you are to find the slope between (-2,0) and (0,6).

((Since you know from the given points on the graph
that when x=-2, y=0, AND when x=0, y=6))

Answer 18

yahss...I was called

Answer 19

So, you just need to apply the slope formula;
and your two points are (-2,0) and (0,6)

And yes, the slope is 3.
