The equation given is \( y = -\frac{3}{5}x + 10 \). This is in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) represents the slope (or rate of change) and \( b \) is the y-intercept.
In this case, the slope \( m \) is \( -\frac{3}{5} \). Therefore, the rate of change of the function is
**B: -3/5**.
In this case, the slope \( m \) is \( -\frac{3}{5} \). Therefore, the rate of change of the function is
**B: -3/5**.
