Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The rate of change is also known as the slope.

Standard equation of a line: y = mx + b

y: output
m: slope
x: input
b: y-intercept

So, if we match the standard form to the given function:

y = mx + b
y = -1/4x + 1

-1/4 is m, or the rate of change.
