Could someone help me find the slope?

Well, a linear function is proportional, a straight line (on a graph). And the numbers must not have the same answer. For instance, if the X input is 5, and the Y output is 7. And then another X input is 5, and the Y output is 8, that's non-linear.
So, the Answer would be the third graph. This is because the X values are steadily increasing, and so are the Y values.
For the X and Y values, for each time X increases by 1, Y increases by -8. This is, linear because both sides are constantly and evenly increasing.

It is often more convenient to evaluate a polynomial when it is written is "Horner form."
... f(x) = (((10x -4)x -8)x +3)x -6
The graphs offered can be distinguished by their values of f(1) and f(2), so our table can be a short one.
... f(1) = (((10·1 -4)1 -8)1 +3)1 -6 = -5 . . . . . . . eliminates graph d
... f(2) = (((10·2 -4)2 -8)2 +3)2 -6 = 96 . . . . eliminates graphs a and c
The appropriate choice is b.
