Question

Graphing points with tables

Answer 1

The slope is –3.

Solution:

To find the slope of the line:

The given points in the table lie on a line.

Take any two points from the line.

Let the points are (0, 2) and (3, –7).

$x_1=0,y_1=2,x_2=3, y_2=-7$

Slope of the line formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{-7-2}{3-0}$

$m=\frac{-9}{3}$

m =  –3

The slope is –3.
