Question

What’s the slope_____

Answer 1

-4

Explanation:

The formula for finding the slope of a line is
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)` when the given points are
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)`. We can take any two points given to us from the table and plug them into that expression. For example, we can use the points (0,0) and (2,-8).

`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\= (-8-0)/(2-0)\\= (-8)/(2)`

Simplify the fraction

`= -4`

Therefore, the slope of the line is equal to -4.

I hope this helps!
