Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

B. -1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the slope you have to use the formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

y2-y1/x2-x1 = 4.47-5/-1-(-2)

4.75-5 = -.25

-1 - (-2) = 1

-.25/1 = -.25 or -1/4

Answer 2

Answer:

B) −1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope represents the change in y values divided by the change in x values.  We can use the formula

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(2,4)  (-2,5)

slope = (5-4)/(-2-2)

        = 1/-4

slope = -1/4
