Answer:

C.Jaclyn did not make an error.

Explanation:

We are given that Jaclyn used the slope formula to find the slope of the line through the points given in the table.

1.The points are (0,4) and (-3,0).

We have to find in which step Jaclyn make an error.

2.Slope formula :
m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Substitute the values then we get

3.Slope:
(0-4)/(-3-0)=(-4)/(-3)=(4)/(3)

Hence, the slope =
(4)/(3)

Therefore, Jaclyn did not make an error.

Answer:C.Jaclyn did not make an error.
