Question

Find the slope of the line represented by the table of values.

A)
1
2
B) 1
C) 2
D) 4

Answer 1

The slope is the change in Y over the change in X.

Using any two of the X and Y values solve for the slope:

Using the first and last value:

(-1,1) and (7,5)

Slope = (5-1) / (7 - -1)

Slope = 4/8

Slope = 1/2
