Final answer:

The rate of change for a linear function is the slope, which can be found using the formula (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1). In this case, the slope is -2.


Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change for a linear function is also known as the slope. To find the slope, you can use the formula (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of two points on the line. In this case, the coordinates are (-2, 3) and (-3, 5). So the slope is (5 - 3)/(-3 - (-2)), which simplifies to 2/(-1), or -2.
