To find the rate of change, we need to calculate the difference in y-values for consecutive x-values:
(Change in y) / (Change in x)
For the points (-3, -10) and (-2, -7):
Change in y = -7 - (-10) = 3
Change in x = -2 - (-3) = 1
Rate of change = 3 / 1 = 3
Therefore, the rate of change for this linear function is 3.
determine the rate of change of the linear function given the table below. (1 point)
x: -3, -2, -1, 0, 1
y:-10, -7, -4, -1,2
