Question

The points in the table lie on a line. Find the slope of the line.

Answer 1

The slope of the line is $-\frac{3}{4}$

First, you must find 2 points.

(-6,8)    (-2,5)

Then, you must substitute the value of the points in.

$\frac{5-8 }{-2+6}$

Finally, simplify the fraction.

$-\frac{3}{4}$
