Question

The given table values represents a liner equation. What is the slope?

A. 2
B. 3
C. 1
D. 4

Answer 1

A. 2

Explanation:

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

Use any two points given in the table of values. Let's use (1, 5), (3, 9)

Let,

`(1, 5) = (x_1, y_1)`

`(3, 9) = (x_2, y_2)`

Plug these values into the slope formula:

`slope (m) = (9 - 5)/(3 - 1)`

`slope (m) = (4)/(2)`

`slope (m) = 2`
