Question

Please help me!! It’s important

Answer 1

The slope is 2

Explanation:

Pick two points and plug into this equation: y2-y1/x2-x1

(-3,2) and (-1,6)

2-6/-3-(-1)=-4/-2= 2

Answer 2

The slope of the linear function is 2

Explanation:

Calculating the Slope of a Line

Suppose we know the line passes through points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the equation:

`\displaystyle m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

The table shows four points: (-3,2), (-1,6), (1,10), and (3,14). To find the slope on the line passing through them we only need two, for example (-3,2), (-1,6):

`\displaystyle m=(6-2)/(-1+3)`

`\displaystyle m=(4)/(2)=2`

Any other pair of points should give the very same value for the slope. Use (1,10), and (3,14):

`\displaystyle m=(14-10)/(3-1)`

`\displaystyle m=(4)/(2)=2`

Thus, the slope of the linear function is 2
