Question

Which expression can be used to determine the slope of the linear function represented in the table? x 0 4 y 5 9

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is the first option 9-5/4-0

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

a)  9-5 over 4-0  is the CORRECT OPTION.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, according to the given information:

x   0        4

y    5        9

⇒ when x = 0, y = 5 or (0,5) is a given point on function.

and when x  = 4, y = 9 or  (4,9) is a given point on function.

Now, if two such points (a,b) and (c,d) are given, then the slope S is given as:

$S = (\frac{d-b}{c-a} )$

So, here taking   (a,b) and (c,d)  as  (0,5)  and (4,9):

$S = (\frac{9-5}{4-0} )$

Hence,  9-5 over 4-0  is the CORRECT OPTION.
