Question

Find the slope of a line given the table of value below answer in a simplified fraction if necessary

Answer 1

Use any two ordered pair in the table, to solve for the slope. In this instance, we will be using (1,-11) and (6,-20)

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) \\ m=(-20-(-11))/(6-1) \\ m=(-20+11)/(5) \\ m=(-9)/(5) \\ \; \\ \text{Therefore, the slope of the line is }m=-(9)/(5) \end{gathered}`
