To determine the rate of change of the linear function given as a table of values, we need to find the slope or the change in y divided by the change in x.

From the table, we can see that the change in x is 3.2 - 2.6 = 0.6, and the change in y is 3 - (-6) = 9.

So the slope or rate of change is 9/0.6 = 15.

Therefore, the correct answer is m = 15.
