Question

Find the slope for the values in the table below.

x
-1
0
1
2
y
5
3
1
-1
A. 1
B. -1
C. 2
D. -2

Answer 1

all you have to do is choose two points from the table and then use the slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1 let me give you an example: lets say you chose these 2 points from the table: (1,4) and (2,2) where 1 is x1 4 is y1 2 is x2 and 2 is y2 now you just apply the formula: 2-4/2-1= -2/1=-2 the slope of that line is -2

Answer 2

for each increase by 1 of x, y decreases by 2, so your slope will be -2

Answer 3

ya it will be -2
