Question

Please help me out with this one

Answer 1

The slope of the line = m = 3

Explanation:

Given the table

x 3 6 8 12

y 7 16 22 34

Taking any two points let say (3, 7) and (6, 16)

• (x₁, y₁) = (3, 7)

• (x₂, y₂) = (6, 16)

Using the formula

Slope = m = [y₂ - y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]

= [16 - 7] / [6 - 3]

= 9 / 3

= 3

Therefore, the slope of the line = m = 3
