Answer:

A

Explanation:

The rate of change for the table is found using the slope formula. The rate of change for the linear function is the coefficient of x.

__

table

The slope formula tells us the rate of change is ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (-9 -(-10))/(-1 -(-4)) = 1/3

equation

The coefficient of x in the equations of the offered answer choices are 1/4 and 6.

comparison

The relations between the various slopes are ...

1/4 < 1/3 < 6

That is, the equation with a slope of 1/4 has a rate of change less than that of the function represented by the table:

y = 1/4x +4 because ... table of values is 1/3
