Answer:

Use the slope formula y2-y1/x2-x1 and you get, -5 - 0/ -2 + 3 = -5 The rate of change is also 5

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{-5}[/tex]

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

[tex]\text{The rate of change between the points is \boxed{\mathbf{-5}}}[/tex]
