Question

Can someone help me find the slope for x 0,1,2,3 y 7,4,1,-2

Answer 1

Slope is -3

Explanation:

slope is the change in y divided by the change in x

from 7 to 4, y changes by -3, this holds true for 4 to 1, so our change in y is -3

from 0 to 1, x changes by 1, this holds true for 1 to 2 so our change in x is 1

-3/1 = -3

Answer 2

slope = - 3

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 2) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m =
`(-2-7)/(3-0)` =
`(-9)/(3)` = - 3
