Question

Which expression can be used to determine the slope of the linear function represented in the table?

Answer 1

Your answer is the first option, (9 - 5)/(4 - 0).
This is because the formula to finding the slope of a line is (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1), and the first option has the two y coordinates subtracting and the two x coordinates subtracting.
I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

A. $\frac{9-5}{4-0}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

The slope of the points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by,

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$.

Now, from the table, the ordered pairs of the form (x,y) are (0,5) and (4,9)

Thus, the slope of these points is given by,

$Slope=\frac{9-5}{4-0}$

Hence, option A is correct.
