To determine the rate of change in this scenario, we need to find how much the value decreases per day.

First, we need to identify the starting point and deduced amount. In this case, the starting point is 100 points and the deduced amount is 5 points per day.

The rate of change can be determined by dividing the deduced amount by the number of days. In this case, the rate of change would be -5 points per day.

So the correct response is:
m = -5, where m equals negative 5.
