Hello!
Find the coordinate where x = -1:
At x = -1, y = 1, so the coordinate is (-1, 1).
Find the coordinate where x = 2:
At x = 2, y = -2, so the coordinate is (2, -2).
Find the rate of change between the points using the slope formula:

Plug in the coordinates above:

Simplify:
Thus, the rate of change between the points is -1.
125. To find the answer to these questions, divide the number (50) by the percent in decimal form (40% = 0.4) 50 / 0.4 = 125. To make sure, 125 x 0.4 = 50.
