The graph of f (x) is shown.

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 1.75, 4), has a vertex of (negative 0.25, negative 3), and goes through (1.4, 4). Solid circles appear on the parabola at (negative 1.6, 3.1), (negative 1.2, 0), (negative 0.25, negative 3), (0.8, 0), (1.2, 3.1).

Over which interval on the x-axis is there a negative rate of change in the function?

-2 to - 1

-1.5 to 0.5

0 to 1

0.5 to 1.5
