Answer:

Slope is -1

Explanation:

Use the equation y = mx + b

  1. Find the y-intercept (b) intersecting point on the y-axis
  2. Graph it and you'd get 10
  3. Choose any x and y points from the table. I'll choose (5,5)
  4. Substitute: 5 = 5m + 10
  5. Solve for m --> m = -1
  6. Your slope is -1
