Question

What’s the slope?? Please help

Answer 1

Slope of the line represented by the table is 2.5.

Explanation:

For a linear function,

Slope of the line passing through two points
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)` is given by,

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

Therefore, slope of the line passing through (0, 12) and (-2, 7) will be,

Slope =
`(12-7)/(0-(-2))`

=
`(5)/(2)`

= 2.5

Therefore, slope of the line represented by the table is 2.5.
