Answer 2

Option B.

Explanation:

From the given table it is clear that the linear function passing through the points (-14,-18) and (-10,-12).

The slope of a linear function is

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

The given line passing through the points (-14,-18) and (-10,-12), so the slope of the line is

`m=(-12-(-18))/(-10-(-14))`

`m=(-12+18)/(-10+14)`

`m=(6)/(4)`

`m=(3)/(2)`

The slope of the required line is
`(3)/(2)`.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
