Question

The table represents a linear function. Which is the slope of the function?

Answer 1

From the table we have the points (-4, -2) and (-2, -10).

The formula of a slope:

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

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{-10-(-2)}{-2-(-4)}=\dfrac{-10+2}{-2+4}=\dfrac{-8}{2}=-4$

Answer: The slope = -4.

Answer 2

Answer:

I think that the answer is -4
