The table represents some points on the graph of a linear function. х у -6.5 -3 -1 UN -0.5 8.5 17.5 The rate of change of y with respect to x is

Step-by-step explanation:

We know i×i=i^2 which has value of -1.

We will multiply numerator and denominator by i so the denominator will no longer contain imaginary part(s).

Also multiplying by i/i does not change the value of the fraction because i/i=1.

Numerator × i gives (-5+i)i=-5i+i^2=-5i-1

=-1-5i.

Denominator × i gives (2i)i=2i^2=-2.

So the simplified version of this fraction given is:

The last simplification come from me multiplying fraction by -1/-1.
