Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is linear; therefore, the slope of the line joining any two points is the same.

We take any two points from the table and compute the slope or rise/ run between them— let is take points (-4, -2) and (-2, -10).

The slope $m$ of the line joining the points is

$m=\dfrac{\Delta y }{\Delta x } =\dfrac{-2-(-10)}{-4-(-2)} \\\\\boxed{m=-4}$

The slope of the function is -4.

The answer is: [D]: "Subtract 5 from 10" .

Explanation:
____________________________________
Use the correct order of operations, according to the mnemonic:
"PE MD AS".

The "P" stands for "parentheses", which takes top (first priority); and there are values in parentheses in this expression—specifically, the "(10 - 5)" . So the first step is to "subtract 5 from 10" —which is: "Answer choice: [D]".
Your error was starting at the beginning of the problem; and not using the "order of operations".
