Answer:

-10

Explanation:

We can use two points from the table to find our slope.

Remember, the slope formula is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). We can use the points (-1,50) and (-2,60). Let's substitute the values into the formula.


(60-50)/(-2-(-1)). This gets us to
(10)/(-1), so our slope is -10.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

m = -10

Explanation:

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

m = 60-50 / -2 - -1

m = 10/ -1

m = -10
