Question

Based on the table of values below, find the slope between points where x = 2 and where x = 6. x 2,4,6 and Y 12, 10,4

Answer 1

According to the table, when x = 2, y = 12, and when x = 6, y = 4. We fit them into the slope formula like so:

$m=\frac{4-12}{6-2}=\frac{-8}{4}=-2$.

The slope of the line between the two points is -2.
