The equation given is \( y = -35x + 10 \). This is a linear equation in slope-intercept form ( \( y = mx + b \) ), where \( m \) represents the slope of the line.
In this equation, the slope \( m \) is \( -35 \).
The rate of change of the function corresponds to the slope. Therefore, the rate of change of the function represented by the equation is:
−35
