Answer
a. Make a table of values for f(x) = -.5x - 2 and graph corresponding x and y values.
b. Slope = -.5.
c. Rate of change = -.5.
Work Step by Step
a. Plot the x and y values of the function on a coordinate grid to graph the function.
b. The slope = the a value which in this case is -.5
c. The slope = rate of change so rate of change = -.5
