The rate of change of a linear function is given by the slope (m) of the line.
To find the slope, we can use any two points from the table. Let's use the points (0, -1) and (1, 2) to find the slope.
Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
= (2 - (-1)) / (1 - 0)
= (2 + 1) / 1
= 3
Therefore, the rate of change of the linear function is 3.
