Answer

$2$

Work Step by Step

We are given: $x=-1$, $y=2$, $z=-3$ We take into account the order of operations: Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction Thus, we have: $$\frac{x^2+(z-y)^2}{4x^2+z^2}=\frac{(-1)^2+(-3-2)^2}{4(-1)^2+(-3)^2}\\ =\frac{1+(-5)^2}{4+9}=\frac{1+25}{13}=\frac{26}{13}=2 .$$
