Question

Please help me with this equation

Answer 1

-3/2

Explanation:

Rate of change is equal to the rise over the run.

So we can take two points on this function and see the difference of y divided by the difference of x.

(0, 4) and (-4, 2)

now
`m = (y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

so plug in points:

`m = (2--4)/(-4-0) = (6)/(-4)=-(3)/(2)`
