The rate of change of a linear function is determined by the difference in the y-values divided by the difference in the x-values.
For the given table, the difference in the y-values is 8 - (-8) = 16, and the difference in the x-values is 1 - (-3) = 4.
Therefore, the rate of change of the function is 16/4 = 4.
