Question

What is the slope of the line that is represented by the values in the table above?

Answer 1

`slope (m) = 6`

Explanation:

To get the slope of the line of the given table of values, all we need is just 2 coordinate pairs from the table. We can pick any two.

Let's use, (-1, 0), and (0, 6).

Apply the formula,
`(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`, where,

`(-1, 0) = (x_1, y_1)`

`(0, 6) = (x_2, y_2)`

Thus:

`m = (6 - 0)/(0 - (-1))`

`m = (6)/(1)`

`slope (m) = 6`
