Question

Which statement correctly describes the slope of the linear function that is represented by the data in the table?

Answer 1

Answer: d. There is no slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that slope =$=\frac{\text{change in y coordinate}}{\text{change in x coordinate}}$

For the given table, since there is no change in x coordinate .

Thus the change in x coordinate is 0.

Therefore, slope=$=\frac{\text{change in y coordinate}}{0}=\infty$

which means the slope does not exist.

Hence, (d) is the right option. There is no slope.

Answer 2

Slope=change in y/change in x

one way is t pick 2 points, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
the slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

pick some points
(8,4) and (8,0)
slope=(0-4)/(8-8)=-4/0=undefined
the slope is undefined
so you could say there is no solpe


answer is D
