Question

Find the slope of the table below

х Y
3
-1. 6
0. 9
1. 12
2

Answer 1

The rate of change or slope of the table = 3

Explanation:

Taking two points from the table

• (-1, 3)

• (0, 6)

Finding the slope between (-1, 3) and (0, 6)

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

`\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-1,\:3\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(0,\:6\right)`

`m=(6-3)/(0-\left(-1\right))`

`m=3`

Thus, the rate of change or slope of the table = 3
