slope is change in y over change in x
use 2 points from the table so -3,-21 and -6,-39
change in Y: -39 - -21 = -18
change in x = -6 - -3 = -3
slope = -18/-3 = 6
slope = 6
Answer:
equation of line
x-2y=8
Step-by-step explanation:
equation of line in slope intercept form
(y-y1)={(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)}(x-x1)
or,(y+3)={(-5+3)/(-2-2)}(x-2)
or,(y+3)=(1/2)(x-2)
or,2y+6=x-2
or,6+2 =x-2y
or,x-2y=8
There are 2 methods you are taught in Middle School.
