Answer:

Rate of change of y is
- (4)/(9)

Explanation:


y = - (4)/(9) x + 5 \\ \\ differentiating \: with \: respect \: to \: x \\ \\ (dy)/(dx) = - (4)/(9) (d)/(dx) x + (d)/(dx) 5 \\ \\ (dy)/(dx) = - (4)/(9) .1 + 0 \\ \\ \huge \red{(dy)/(dx) = - (4)/(9) } \\ \\ rate \: of \: change \: of \: y =- (4)/(9)
