Question

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

X:-5, -2, 1, 4, 7
Y:10, 5, 0, -5, -10

A)3/5

B)5/3

C)-3/5

D)-5/3

Answer 1

AnsweD

Explanation:

Answer 2

-5/3

Explanation:

To solve for slope we use the slope formula which is y2-y1/x2-x1.

For this problem I chose the points: (-5,10) and (-2,5)

-5 is x1, 10 is y1, -2 is x2 and 5 is y2

We now plug in the points into the slope formula:

5-10/-2-(-5)= -5/3
