Question

what is the slope of the function, represented by the table of values below X: -2 0 3 5 8 ; Y: 10 6 0 -4 -10

Answer 1

The slope is -2, the equation is y=-2x+6

Answer 2

Slope of the given function represented by the table values is, -2

Explanation:

To find slope of the given function represented by the table values.

Formula for slope is given by:

`\text{Slope} = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

As per the statement:

From the given tables:

Consider two values i.e

(-2, 10) and (0, 6)

Substitute these points in [1] we have;

`\text{Slope} = (6-10)/(0-(-2))=(-4)/(2) = -2`

Therefore, the slope of the given function represented by the table values is, -2
