Question

11. The table shows the relationship between x and y values.

х
35
45
65
55
82
y
94
88
76
What is the slope of the linear function in decimal form?

Answer 1

Slope = 0.6

Explanation:

Slope of a line passing through two points
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)` is,

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

By applying this rule in the table attached,

Let the two points are (35, 94) and (45, 88) through which the graph of a linear function is passing.

Slope of the linear graph =
`(94-88)/(45-35)`

=
`(6)/(10)`

= 0.6

Therefore, slope of the linear function is 0.6
