Find the average rate of change from x=0 to x=4
Isn't finding the average rate of change basically finding the slope? How can I do this?

Yes, the average rate of change is the slope.
To find the points, plug the given x-values into the given function, and simplify to find the y-values.
To find the slope, plug these two points into the slope formula.
