Question

A linear relationship is given in the table.

x y
6 7
4 5
0 1
−2 −1


What is the slope of the relationship?
a. 3
b. 2
c. 1
d. −1

Answer 1

the answer is C let me know if you need anymore help

Answer 2

c

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 2, - 1) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m =
`(-1-7)/(-2-6)` =
`(-8)/(-8)` = 1
