Question

Lorena calculated the slope of the linear function that is represented by the table of values as shown.

x
y
–10
15
–8
27
–6
39
–4
51
–2
63

m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction = StartFraction 63 minus 51 Over negative 2 minus (negative 4) EndFraction = StartFraction 12 Over negative 6 EndFraction = negative 2.

What did she do wrong?
She used the wrong formula for slope.
She used the wrong points to determine the slope.
She made a mistake when she subtracted x 1 from x 2.
She made a mistake when she subtracted y 1 from y 2.

Answer 1

Explanation:

i took the test and i got it right.

Answer 2

Answer: she distributed the x values wrongly
