Question

HELP ASAP ! Is the slope shown in the table positive or negative

Answer 1

positive

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 2) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m =
`(2-4)/(5-6)` =
`(-2)/(-1)` = 2 ← positive slope
