Answer:

-5

Explanation:

The rate of change, also known as slope, would be -5.

Slope can be found with two points and the formula y minus y divided by x minus x or the change of y divided by the change in x.

To identify the slope on the equation is easy since this is slope-intercept form.

y=mx+b

where m is the slope

m in this case is -5, so -5 is your answer
