Answer: m=3/4

Explanation:

Looking at the table given, we can assume two of the points are (9,-24) and (13,-21). To find the slope with given points, we use the formula
m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1). We can plug the two points in and solve.


m=(-21-(-24))/(13-9) =(3)/(4)

Now, we know that the slope is 3/4.
