The points (0, −4) and (3, 2) lie on the graph of a linear function. what is the rate of change of the function? enter your answer in the box.

I don't entirely know what you mean by 'rate of change', but I'll assume that you mean slope.

0, -4 and 3, 2 are on the coordinate plane.

From 0, we go over three to reach 3.
From -4, we go up six to reach 2.

Since slope is in essence, rise/run, we have the following fraction:

6/3, which can be re-written as 2/1 or just 2.

Hope this helps!

Jim has run 5/6 of a mile so far. i hope that answers your question! good luck : )
