Answer:

$\boxed{\textsf{ The slope of the line is \textbf{1}.}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points are given to us and we need to find the slope of the line that passes through these two points . The two points are (-2,-3) and (5,4) .As we know that the slope of the line is given by $\tan\theta$

Slope of a line is :-

$\boxed{\boxed{ \sf Slope =\dfrac{ y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\tan\theta }}$

On using this formula we can find the slope of the line .

Putting the respective values :-

$\sf\implies Slope = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\sf\implies Slope = \dfrac{ -3-4}{-2-5} \\\\\sf\implies Slope =\dfrac{-7}{-7}\\\\\sf\implies\boxed{\pink{\sf Slope = 1 }}$

Which table represents a linear function?

mart [117]

Well, a linear function is proportional, a straight line (on a graph). And the numbers must not have the same answer. For instance, if the X input is 5, and the Y output is 7. And then another X input is 5, and the Y output is 8, that's non-linear.

So, the Answer would be the third graph. This is because the X values are steadily increasing, and so are the Y values.

For the X and Y values, for each time X increases by 1, Y increases by -8. This is, linear because both sides are constantly and evenly increasing.
