Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the points in the table?

X / Y
-2 / -0.35
-1 / -0.3
0 / -0.25
1 / -0.20
2 / -0.15

Answer 1

The answer is 0.05

-----------------------------------------

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick any two rows you want. I'm going to pick the first two rows

Row1: x = -2 and y = -0.35
Row2: x = -1 and y = -0.3

Subtract the y values
-0.3 - (-0.35) = -0.3 + 0.35 = 0.05

Subtract the x values in the same order as the y values
-1 - (-2) = -1 + 2 = 1

Divide the differences (y over x)
0.05/1 = 0.05

That's why 0.05 is the answer
