Question

What is the slope of the line that is represented by the values in the table above?

Answer 1

Answer:

$slope (m) = 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the slope of the line of the given table of values, all we need is just 2 coordinate pairs from the table. We can pick any two.

Let's use, (-1, 0), and (0, 6).

Apply the formula, $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$, where,

$(-1, 0) = (x_1, y_1)$

$(0, 6) = (x_2, y_2)$

Thus:

$m = \frac{6 - 0}{0 - (-1)}$

$m = \frac{6}{1}$

$slope (m) = 6$
