0
-3
3
-1
6
1
9
3
12
What is the slope of the line that is represented by the values in the table above?
w

Answer 1

3/2

Explanation:

Truthfully, you only need two points for a linear equation, so I will only use two.

(-5, 0)

(-3, 3)

I will use the skeleton method to find the slope

((0) - (3))/((-5) - (-3)) -> -3/-2

The slope is 3/2
