Question

2 Determine whether the table represents a linear relationship. If so, state the slope of

Answer 1

Answer:

• Tables A and B represent linear relationship

-------------------------

Table A

• x = 2, 3, 4, 5                  Difference is 1
• y = 14, 21, 28, 35           Difference is 7

• This is linear and the slope is 7

Table B

• x = -2, -1, 0, 1                  Difference is 1
• y = 10, 5, 0, -5                Difference is - 5

• This is linear and the slope is - 5

Table C

• x = 2, 3, 4, 5                  Difference is 1
• y = 48, 72, 90, 114         Difference is inconsistent

• This is not linear
