Answer:

-The final answer for the slope:


m = -4

Explanation:

-There are four points on a table:


(-7, 21),
(-6, 17),
(-5, 13),
(-4, 9)

-To find the slope, use any two points from the table and use it for the slope formula:


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

(The two points I use, were
(-7, 21) and
(-6, 17) for the formula):


m = (17 - 21)/(-6+7)

-Then, solve the formula:


m = (17 - 21)/(-6+7)


m = (-4)/(1)


m = -4

So, the final answer for the slope is
m = -4 .
