Answer:

B

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, - 3) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m =
(-3+2)/(8-7) =
(-1)/(1) = - 1 → B

Answer:

B) m = -1

Explanation:

Slope = change in y and x

Choose 2 from y and 2 from x

so

-2 - - 3 / 7 - 8

= 1/-1

= -1

The answer is -1

Hope this helps :)
