Question

What is the slope of the line that contains points X 15 17,19,21 y is -10 to 5, 14, 26

Answer 1

the slope is 6.

Explanation:

The given table is

X Y

15 -10

17 5

19 14

21 26

To find the slope of the line represented by this table, we need to use two points, (15, -10) and (19, 14).

Then we use the definition of slope

`m=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) ) =(14-(-10))/(19-15)=(24)/(4)=6`

the slope is 6.

Answer 2

The slope is 6.

Explanation:

The given table is

X Y

15 -10

17 5

19 14

21 26

To find the slope of the line represented by this table, we just need to use two points, the first and the last one: (15, -10) and (21, 26).

Then we use the definition of slope

`m=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) ) =(26-(-10))/(21-15)=(36)/(6)=6`

Therefore, the slope is 6.
