The rate is the slope of the line that passes through the two points. In this case, the slope can be found using the formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinates) / (change in x-coordinates)
(change in y-coordinates) = -6 - (-3) = -3
(change in x-coordinates) = 4 - 2 = 2
slope = (-3) / 2 = -1.5
Therefore, the rate is -1.5.
