Explanation:

To calculate each slope, just take any two points from each table, and plug them into this formula:⤵⤵⤵

(It'll be a bit small btw)


(y _(2) - y _(1) )/(x _(2) - x _(1) )

Table 1: I chose points (13,1) and (5,21)

21 - 1 = 20

5 - 13 = -8

Simplified = -5/2 Slope

Table 2: I chose points (4,16) and (9,19)

19 - 16 = 3

9 - 4 = 5

3/5 Slope

Table 3: I chose points (0,6) and (9,0)

0 - 6 = -6

9 - 0 = 9

Simplified = -2/3 ⬅ Slope

Table 4: I chose points (-8,1) and (-8,17)

17 - 1 = 16

-8 - (-8) = -8 + 8 = 0

Undefined slope (meaning the line will just be verticle)

Table 5: I chose points (2,3) and (3,5)

5 - 3 = 2

3 - 2 = 1

Simplified = 2 Slope

Hope this helps :)
