Question

Find the slope from the tableA. 3B. 2C. -3D. -1

Answer 1

Use 2 of the given ordered pairs to find the slope of the function. Use the following formula:

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Where y2 and y1 are the y coordinates of the ordered pairs and x2 and x1 are the x coordinates. Replace for the given values:

`m=(2-5)/(-2-(-3))=-(3)/(1)=-3`

The slope of the function is -3.
