Question

Find the slope of the line represented by the table

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 2) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m = $\frac{2-8}{1-3}$ = $\frac{-6}{-2}$ = 3
