Answer is slopes of 4, -2/3, 4/5, 1

Step by step

We can find slope using formula

y2 - y1 over x2 - x1

This table is not proportional so each set of points will have a different slope

(5,9) to (3, 1)
1 - 9 over 3 - 5
-8 over -2 = -8/-2 = 4 slope

(8, 7) to (5, 9)
9 - 7 over 5 - 8
2 over -3 = -2/3 slope

(13, 11) to (8, 7)
7 - 11 over 8 - 13
-4 over -5 = 4/5 slope

(16, 14) to (13, 11)
11 - 14 over 13 - 16
-3 over -3 = 1 slope
