What is the rate of change between the points (-3, 0) and (-2, -5)?

The rate of change is the change in Y over the change in X.

Rate of change =  (-5 - 0) / (-2 - -3)

Rate of change = (-5 ) / (-2+3)

Rate of change = -5 /1

Rate of change = -5

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
