Use the linear slope formula to solve for m:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
using the points (-1,1) and (1,5) you can find the slope for the first interval:
m=(5-1)/(1-(-1))
m=4/2
m=2
you can double check by using the same formula on the second interval, which is (1,5) to (3,9).
m=(9-5)/(3-1)
m=4/2
m=2
therefore, the rate of change is 2.

Answer:
392 I got that correct as well
If this is not a typo, and you mean 15.16 as in 15 and 16 hundredths, we can express this into a mixed number.
Mixed numbers are a whole number with the remainder of that number as a fraction.
For example, 1.25 as a decimal = 1 1/4 as a mixed number.
Since we already have our whole number, 15, we need to know what 16 hundredths is simplified as a fraction.
Currently, our mixed number is 15 16/100.
To simplify this, we need to find a common factor that 16 and 100 share.
Since they are both even numbers, let's divide by 2.
16/2 = 8
100/2 = 50.
Our new mixed number is 15 8/50.
Currently our fraction is still even, so divide by 2 again.
8/2 = 4
50/2 = 25
Your new mixed number is 15 4/25.
4 and 25 have no common factors, so the fraction is simplified.
Your answer is:
15.16 is 15 4/25 as a mixed number.
I hope this helps!
