Let's use the following table as an example:

In order to find the slope of the table, we can use the following formula:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

So, using the points (x1, y1) = (0, 2) and (x2, y2) = (1, 3), we have:


m=(3-2)/(1-0)=(1)/(1)=1

So the slope of this table is 1. That means when the value of x increases by 1 unit, the value of y also increases by 1 unit.
