Question

Find the slope of the line represented by the table of values.

A) 1/2
B) 1
C) 2
D) 4

Answer 1

-0.5, or - 1/2

Explanation:

Find x intercept

(0, 1.5)

Find y intercept

(-3,0)

Do rise over run (y over x)

0, 1.5

---------

-3, 0

-1.5, over 3

slope=-0.5 or - 1/2

Answer 2

Answer: A)
`\frac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}`

Explanation:

We know that the slope of a function is given by :-

`\text{Slope}=\frac{\text{Change in y values}}{\text{Change in x values}}`

Fro the given table, from x = 1 and x= 3 , we have

Change in x values=3-1=2

Change in y values=3-2=1

`\text{Slope}=\frac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}`

Hence, the slope of the line represented by the table of values.=
`\frac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}`
