Question

The points in the table lie on a line. What is the slope?

4 -2 0 2
y -4
0 4 8
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4

Answer 1

The slope of the line is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line, we can use the formula: slope = (change in y)/(change in x). Let's take two points from the table and calculate the slope:

Point 1: (4, -4)

Point 2: (2, 0)

Using the formula, the slope is: slope = (0 - (-4))/(2 - 4) = 4/(-2) = -2

So, the slope of the line is -2. Therefore, the answer is not given in the options provided.
