Question

Find the slope from the tableA. 5B. 3C. -3D. -5

Answer 1

3 (option B)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the slope from the table, we would pick any two points in the table. This is because any two points should always give same slope.

picking points: (-7, -16) and (-4, -7)

Using the slope formula:

`m\text{ = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`
`\begin{gathered} x_1=-7,y_1=-16,x_2=-4,y_2\text{ = }-7 \\ m\text{ = slope =}(-7-(-16))/(-4-(-7)) \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{slope =}(-7+16)/(-4+7) \\ \text{slope = }(9)/(3) \\ \text{slope = 3 (option B)} \end{gathered}`
