Answer

Rate change = 1

Explanation:

Rate change means the slope on the graph

Slope = rise / run

Rise = y2 - y1

Run = x2 - x1

Slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

From the graph, Given the picked points

(5, 5) and (-5, -5)

x1 = 5, y1 = 5, x2 = -5, and y2 = -5

Slope = -5 - 5 / -5 -5

Slope = -10 / -10

Slope = 1

Hence, the rate change is 1
