Answer:

The correct option is A....

Explanation:

We have a table of x,y pairs. To compute the slope we can use any two pairs, say the first two, and plug them into our formula:

m = y2-y1 / x2-x1

m = 5-13/ 0-(-2)

m = -8/0+2

m = -8/2

m = -4

We can check this answer by using a different pair: Take the last two pairs.

m = -27-(-15)/ 8-5

m = -27+15/3

m = -12/3

m = -4

Thus the slope is -4
