Answer

a. Make a table of values of f(x) = $-\frac{3}{2} + 2$ and plot corresponding x and y values to make a graph of the function. b. Slope = $-\frac{3}{2}$ c. Rate of change = $-\frac{3}{2}$

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 $-\frac{3}{2}$ c. The slope = rate of change so rate of change = $-\frac{3}{2}$
