Question

The ordered pairs in the table below represent a linear function.

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x   y

2    3

5    9

Required

Determine the slope

First, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,3)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (5,9)$

The slope is then calculated as:

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

This gives:

$m = \frac{9-3}{5-2}$

$m = \frac{6}{3}$

$m =2$

Hence, the slope is 2.
