To find the rate of change, we can calculate the difference in y values for consecutive x values and then divide by the difference in x values.
For x = 1 to x = 3:
Rate of Change = (15 - 21) / (3 - 1) = -6 / 2 = -3
For x = 3 to x = 6:
Rate of Change = (6 - 15) / (6 - 3) = -9 / 3 = -3
For x = 6 to x = 7:
Rate of Change = (3 - 6) / (7 - 6) = -3 / 1 = -3
Therefore, the rate of change for this table is constant at -3.
