Answer
a. Make a table of values of the function f(x) = -$\frac{2}{3}$x - 1 and plot corresponding x- and y-values to graph the function.
b. Slope = $-\frac{2}{3}$
c. Rate of change = $-\frac{2}{3}$
Work Step by Step
a. Plot corresponding x and y values of the function on a coordinate plane.
b. The slope = the a value which in this case is $-\frac{2}{3}$
c. The slope = rate of change so rate of change = $-\frac{2}{3}$
