Question

What is the slope of the table.

Answer 1

Answer:

slope is -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is:

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

m = slope

y2 = y-coordinate of second point

y1 = y-coordinate of first point

x2 = x-coordinate of second point

x1 = x-coordinate of first point

We can choose our first and second points as any points on the table, but we will choose the first andd second points which are (-5,10) and (-3,0).

y2 = 0

y1 = 10

x2 = -3

x1 = -5

m = (0-10)/(-3-(-5))

m = (-10)/(-3+5)

m = (-10)/(2)

m = -5
