Question

Points from a linear function are shown in the table below. What is the slope of theline containing the points in the table?VX -5,-3,1Y-5,3,19

Answer 1

Slope = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be calculated with the following equation:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

So, if we take two rows of the table and replace (x1, y1) by (-5, -5) and (x2, y2) by (-3, 3), we get:

`m=(3-(-5))/(-3-(-5))=(3+5)/(-3+5)=(8)/(2)=4`

Therefore, the slope is equal to 4
