For a given function, slope is defined as the change in outputs, or y-values divided by the change in inputs, or x-values. In essence the slope asks "For a given change in x, how much does y change?" or even more simply: "How steep is the graph of this function?". This can be represented mathematically by the formula:
Since we have a table of x,y pairs it's the last form of that equation that will be the most useful to us. To compute the slope we can use any two pairs, say the first two, and plug them into our formula:
We can check this answer by using a different pair, say the last two:
.
As a common sense check: Our y-values get smaller as our x-values get bigger so a negative slope makes sense.
m=-3

Answer:
B and C
Step-by-step explanation:
Minimum and Maximum points occur when the gradient of the function is equal to 0. Graphically this looks like a bend such that the function dips from decreasing to increasing (the gradient goes form being negative to positive) and vice versa.
A minimum point occurs where all the nearby values are higher than that of the point in question.
A maximum point occurs where all the nearby points are lower than the point in question.
By looking at the graph, there is a maximum point around (4.5, 1.5) which is consistent with B but not A (since A talks about a minimum point)
By looking at the graph, there is a minimum point around (0.5, 1.5) which is consistent with C.
