Question

The data in this table represents a linear function.

What is the slope of this line?
2/7
1/3
3
7/2

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

`Slope (m) = (y)/(x) = (3)/(1) = 3`

X = 5 – 2 = 3

Y = 16 – 7 = 9

`0 = arctan((y)/(x)) = 71.565051177078°`

`Distance (d) = √(X2) + Y2 = √(90) = 9.4868329805051`

Equation of the line:

y = 3x + 1

When x=0, y = 1

When y=0, x = -0.33333333333333
