To determine the rate of change (slope) of the linear function, we need to calculate the change in y divided by the change in x.
Change in y = 3 - (-6) = 9
Change in x = 3.2 - 2.6 = 0.6
Slope (m) = Change in y / Change in x = 9 / 0.6 = 15
Therefore, the rate of change of the linear function given in the table is m = 15.
Correct response: m=15
