15 points given to whoever answers

The table represents a linear function.
What is the slope of the function?
–3
–2
3
4

Answer 1

The slope of the function is 3

Explanation:

To find the slope

• Find the change of y over change of x or (Y²-Y¹)/ (X²- X¹)
• Pick two points on the table for demonstration purposes (1,7) and (2,10)
• Apply the formula to the points
• If you can divide your fraction to the simplest form the slope is three

*This method works for any other two other points and the work is in the attachment above*
