To determine the rate of change of the linear function, we need to find the slope of the line passing through the given points in the table.

Using the points (-3, -10) and (1, 2), we can calculate the slope using the formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (2 - (-10)) / (1 - (-3))
m = (2 + 10) / (1 + 3)
m = 12 / 4
m = 3

Therefore, the rate of change of the linear function is 3.
