Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

The given table represents a linear function.

If a linear is graphed by a line and the line passes through two points (x, y) and (x', y'), slope of the line is calculated by the formula

Slope =
(y-y')/(x-x')

Since line passes through two points (-2, -2) and (-1, 1)

Therefore, slope =
(1+2)/(-1+2)

=
(3)/(1)

= 3

Slope of the line will be 3.

Option C. is the answer.
