Question

HELP ME The graph of a linear function passes through the points (- 3, - 6) and (- 7, 2) What is the rate of change of the function?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

-2

Explanation:

Rate of change = y2/x2 - y1/x1

=> Rate of change = 2/-7 - (-6/-3)

=> Rate of change = 2 - (-6) / -7 - (-3)

=> Rate of change = 2 + 6 / -7 + 3

=> Rate of change = 8/-4

=> Rate of change = -2

So, the rate of change = -2
