The rate of change of the linear function given in the table is calculated by finding the change in y divided by the change in x between any two points in the table.
To calculate the rate of change between the first two points (2.6, -6) and (3.2, 3), we subtract the y-values and divide by the difference in x-values:
(3 - (-6)) / (3.2 - 2.6) = 9 / 0.6 = 15
Therefore, the rate of change of the linear function is 15.
Use the table to answer the question.

2.6 −6
3.2 3
Determine the rate of change of the linear function given as a table of values.
