Answer:

The slope of the line is -2.

Explanation:

y = mx + b

The "m" variable is the slope.

m =
(y_(2) - y_(1) )/(x_(2) - x_(1))


y_(2) is the second "y" value given in the table.
y_(1) is the first value given. Same thing for
x_(2) and
x_(1).

m =
(y_(2) - y_(1) )/(x_(2) - x_(1))

m =
((-5) - 3)/((-1) - (-5))

m =
(-8)/(4)

m = -2
