Question

Help please with slopes!!

Find the slope for the table of values below.
x 1 2 3 4
y 8 12 16 20

(Points : 2)
4
8
1/8
1/4

Answer 1

Slope formula ~

Answer 2

Well, a good way to think about this problem is to ask yourself: how much is y increasing for every x. for x=1, y=8 for x=2, y=12 for x=3, y=16... so you can see that everytime x runs by 1 y rises by 4

slope=rise/run=4/1

Answer 3

alternatively you can you the slope formula. just plug in two coordinate points.

12-8/2-1=4/1
