Question

What is the slope of the table x= 2, 0, -2, -4 y= 6, 1, -4, -9

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the table is $m=\frac{5}{2}$   or  $m=2.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have the following ordered pairs

(2,6),(0,1),(-2,-4) and (-4,-9)

take two points

(2,6) and (-4,-9)

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{-9-6}{-4-2}$

$m=\frac{-15}{-6}$

simplify

$m=\frac{5}{2}$
