Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the table of values?

Answer 1

The slope is 1.5x

Per x value increase, the y value increases by 1.5.

This mean that if x is 2, the y value will be 3 higher than the y-intercept.

We can use the slope formula to verify this.

`(y.2 - y.1)/(x.2 - x.1) = m`

6 - 4.5 / 0 + 1

1.5/1 = 1.5

This line in slope-intercept form would look like this:

y = 1.5x + 6
