Answer:

slope = -
(3)/(2)

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 1 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, - 8 ) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

note that any 2 ordered pairs may be used to calculate m

m =
(-8-1)/(8-2) =
(-9)/(6) = -
(3)/(2)
