Answer 2

Just take any two points from the table.

Let's take (2, 39) and (4, 33)

Now let's plug them into the slope formula:

\(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

\(m = \dfrac{33-39}{4-2}\)

Can you simplify that? @im.celibate

Answer 3

-3 OVER 2...

Answer 4

No, check again.

Answer 5

33 - 39 isn't -3..

Answer 6

Oh..Yeah.. -6

Answer 7

reduce it

Answer 8

SO would the answer be -3 because -6 dived by 2 is -3...

Answer 9

Yep, that gives you -6 / 2, which is?

Answer 10

-3, thank you so much @iGreen

Answer 11

Yep, you got it.
