Question

Find the slope of the line represented by the table of values.

Answer 1

Answer:

-0.5, or - 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find x intercept

(0, 1.5)

Find y intercept

(-3,0)

Do rise over run (y over x)

0,  1.5

---------

-3,       0

-1.5, over 3

slope=-0.5 or - 1/2

Answer 2

Answer: A) $\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope of a function is given by :-

$\text{Slope}=\dfrac{\text{Change in y values}}{\text{Change in x values}}$

Fro the given table,  from x = 1 and x= 3 , we have

Change in x values=3-1=2

Change in y values=3-2=1

$\text{Slope}=\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}$

Hence, the  slope of the line represented by the table of values.= $\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}$
