Question

Find the slope of the line represented by the data below

Answer 1

m = -3

Explanation:

We Know

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Pick 2 points (0,15) (2,9)

We see the y decrease by 6, and the x increase by 2, so the slope is

m = -6/2 = -3

So, the slope of the line representing the data is -3.
