Determine the rate of change in the following description. In Ms. Katy’s math class, a homework assignment is worth 100 points. If students turn the homework in late, there will be a deduction of 5 points per day.

m=5

m= −5

m=100

m=−100

The rate of change in this description is -5 points per day. This is because for each day the homework is late, 5 points will be deducted from the initial 100 points.
