Hi I don't know if im putting the answer in wrong but it keeps saying its wrong for the rate of change question but for the slop
e question it keeps saying its wrong and the slope has to be in fraction form but its not 6/4 or 9/8 it has to be a negative number but I can't seem to figure these out please help this is 244 points of my grade

Answer:
Slope is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
So to find slope, we need to take the change in the y value, and the change in the x value, and then divide them. This may be confusing, so here is just 3 formulas in 3 seperate steps that we use to find it:
Step 1 -
Step 2 -
Step 3 -
So lets start by doing step one.
All we need is to look for two x values. Lets use 5 and 6:
6-5=1
So 1 is our change of x. This is our 1st step.
Next we can use 2 y values, note that these should be the 2 y values that go wiht the x values above. So this means we have to use -3 and -1:
-1-(-3) = 2
So 2 is our change in y. This is our 2nd step.
Now lets plug this into:
:
So our slope is 2. Completing our 3rd and final step.
Hope this helps!
