To find the rate of change of y with respect to x for this function, we can use the formula for finding the slope of a line passing through two points:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Given points (-3,3.6) and (5,2), we can plug in the coordinates:
m = (2 - 3.6) / (5 - (-3))
m = (-1.6) / 8
m = -0.2
Therefore, the rate of change of y with respect to x for this function is -0.2.
The graph of a line passes through the points (-3,3.6) and (5,2). What is the rate of change of y with respect to x for this function?
