In Ms. Katy's math class, the rate of change due to the late submission of homework is a deduction of 5 points per day. This means that for each day the homework is turned in late, the total points a student can earn decreases by 5 points. Thus, the rate of change in the value of the homework assignment with respect to the number of days it is late is -5 points per day.
