Question

The function g(x) shown in the table below is a linear function. Identify the slope.

Answer 1

Slope Formula: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

---You can pick any two points to find the slope; you will get the same answer each time.

Point 1: (-3, 10)

Point 2: (1, -6)

(-6 - 10) / (1 - - 3)

-16 / 4

-4

Slope (m) = -4

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the slope is given by

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

   

Using the points (-3,10) and (0,-2)

  = (-2-10)/(0--3)

  =(-2-10)/(0+3)

  -12/3

  -4
