This is a linear function so to find the average rate of change we just have to find the slope of this line.

We begin putting this equation into standard form.

$2 x + 3 y = - 6$ $2x+3y=-6$

The $s l o p e = m = - (\frac{A}{B}) = - (\frac{2}{3}) = - \frac{2}{3}$ $slope=m=-(A/B)=-(2/3)=-2/3$

The average rate of change for this function is $- \frac{2}{3}$ $-2/3$ .
