Answer:
Slope= 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of change can simply be called slope
So the rate of change or slope of the linear function that passes through the points (2, 9) and (-1, 3) is
Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Where y2= 3
Y1= 9
X2= -1
X1= 2
Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Slope= (3-9)/(-1-2)
Slope= -6/-3
Slope= 2
