Write average_rates(points) for a list of points (x, y) with increasing xx-values. Return the list of average rates of change between consecutive points, as Fractions. For Keza's journey [(0, 0), (20, 4), (25, 4), (35, 6), (55, 6), (75, 0)] (minutes, km) it should return the rates in km per minute.
