Id rather you to explain to her why we can't go. vs Id rather you will explain to her why we can't go

The correct phrase is: "I'd rather you explain to her why we can't go." The modal verb 'would' is commonly used after 'I'd rather' to express a preference or choice. Using 'will' in this context is incorrect.
