Answer

a. Make a table of values of the function f(x) = $\frac{5}{4}$x-10 and plot corresponding x and y values to make a graph. b. Slope = $\frac{5}{4}$ c. Rate of change = $\frac{5}{4}$

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 $\frac{5}{4}$ c. The slope = rate of change so rate of change = $\frac{5}{4}$
