By using any two of the points in the table, we will see that the slope is -2.
<h3>How to get the slope for the linear relationship?</h3>
A general linear relationship is:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Remember that if the line passes through (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the slope is:
Here we can use the first two points on the table:
(-4, 11) and (2, -1), so the slope is:
Then the slope of the line is -2.
