Answer:
Hey there!
You can think of the rate of change as the slope of a quadratic function- here we see that it is 9/-3, or - 3.
Let me know if this helps :)
To be able to compare 2 fraciton we have to make common denominator and then we can just compare numerators.

Now we can compare numerator from the first (9) and from the second fraction (8)
9>8, so the bigger is 9/10
