Answer 1

The accurate representation of the slope is
`\( (3)/(16) \).`

To find the slope of the line using the given points, select two points and apply the slope formula:

`\[ \text{Slope} (m) = \frac{\text{change in } y}{\text{change in } x} \]`

Let's choose the points (-8, 2) and (8, 5):

`\[ m = (5 - 2)/(8 - (-8)) = (3)/(16) \]`

The correct slope is
`\( (3)/(16) \)`, The slope is not equivalent to
`\( (1)/(8) \), \( (1)/(6) \), or \( (7)/(16) \).`

The accurate representation of the slope is
`\( (3)/(16) \).`

The probable question may be:

What is the slope of this line?

(-8, 2) (-7, 3) (-6, 4) (-5, -5) (-4, -6) (-3, -7) (-2, -8) (-1, 2) (8, 5) (7, 9) (6, 7) (-5, 0) (4, 8) (3, -3) (2, -4) (1, -5)

a) \( \frac{1}{8} \)

b) \( \frac{1}{6} \)

c) \( \frac{3}{16} \)

d) \( \frac{7}{16} \)
