The table represents a linear function. the rate of change between the points (-5, 10) and (-4,5) is 5. what is the rate of
change between the points (-3,0) and (-2,-5)?
9
0
5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the slope (rate of change) m of a straight line is  

m = Δy/Δx = (y₂ -y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

We have two points on the line: (-3,0) and (-2,-5). Thus,

m = (-5 - 0)/(-2 - (-3)) = -5/(-2 + 3) = -5/1 = -5

answer: the common difference is -0.10
