Question

Help with both questions offering 10 points

Answer 1

Answer:

$\:\mathrm{First\: problem:\:}-2,\\\:\mathrm{Second\: problem:\: }-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line passing through points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is:

$m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Plugging in any two points in the table we have:

First problem:

$m=\frac{1-5}{2-0}=\frac{-4}{2}=\fbox{ -2 }$

Second problem:

$m=\frac{-1-5}{2-0}=\frac{-6}{2}=\fbox{ -3 }$

Answer 2

1. The slope would be -2

2.The slope would be -3
