In your own words, explain the steps you would need to take to find slope from data in a table.

When I say "your own words" PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME THE SAMPLE RESPONSE ON EDGE

Answer:

Choose two sets of data (x and y values). Calculate the difference between the two y values. Calculate the difference between the corresponding two x values. Slope is the difference in y values / difference in x values.

Hope this Helps!

Answer:

For me when I am finding the slope I actually use the slope formula
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

Explanation:

Step 1 you have to find the x and y

Step 2: Use the slope formula

Step 3: Subtract y2 and y1 to get your answer

Step 4: Subtract x2 and x1 to get your answer

Step 4: If your answer is easy to divide simplify it, if not leave it as it is

That's all I know

I hope this helps :)
