Based on the table of values below, find the slope between points where x = 2 and where x = 6.


x

−1
negative one half

Answer 1

look at the table and find the corresponding y-values for x = 2 and x = 6

then write your points as (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) where the x = 2 point comes first

from there,

\[slope = \frac{ (y{_2}-y_{1}) }{ (x{_2}-x_{1}) }\]

Answer 2

As step 1 you would find the slope
