What is the rate of change of the function?
A. -3
B. -1/3
C. 1/3
D. 3

Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change (which is basically the slope) can be found by dividing the rise/run or the distance up and sideways from a point on a line to another point.
If we go from the first point (0, -4) to the next point on the line (1, -1), we would go up 3 spaces and right one space. 3/1 which would be 3
I hope this helps, i tried to explain the best i could.
