Answer:

The slope of the line that passes through the points on the table is 2

Explanation:

To find the slope, first pick any two points on the table and plug it into
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2-x1)

where m is the slope.

For example, let's use (x2, y2) as (2, 1) and (x1, y1) as (1, -1)


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


m =(1+1)/(1)


m=2/1

m = 2

So the slope is 2.

Hope this helps!
