Answer:

Explanation:

Identify the changes in the y values of the table and the x values on the table.

so for example:

x y

1 -2

3 8

5 18

7 28

In this case the changes in the x values are 2,2,2

And the changes in he y values are 10,10, and 10.

So now you write them as fractions like y changes/ x-changes.

So now it is 10/2, 10/2, and 10/2 all of these simplify to 5.

Therefore you slope is 5.
