Question

Find the slope from the table

Answer 1

The slope will be:

• 
  `m=-(5)/(4)`

Explanation:

Taking two points from the table

• (0, -1)

• (-4, 4)

Finding the slope between the points

`\mathrm{Slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(0,\:-1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-4,\:4\right)`

`m=(4-\left(-1\right))/(-4-0)`

`m=-(5)/(4)`

Thus, the slope will be:

• 
  `m=-(5)/(4)`
