Question

Help please! I need to know if it’s a function or not!! Thank you!

Answer 1

Answer:

The table represents a function and the slope is -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know if the given table is a function

For a relation to be a function, no two y values have same x value

however, 2 x values can have same y value

Looking at the table, we can conclude that what we have is a function

To find the slope, we select any two points and apply the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(x1,y1) = (6,-2)

(x2,y2) = (-2,2)

m = (2 -(-2))/(-2-6) = 4/-8 = -1/2
