Question

What is the slope of the linear relationship shown in this table of values?

Answer 1

Second answer choice

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

To find the slope m use any 2 ordered pairs from the table.

Calculate m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 11) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 1)

m =
`(-1-11)/(2+4)` =
`(-12)/(6)` = - 2 → B
