Question

The points in the table lie on a line. Find the slope of the line.

Answer 1

t

Explanation:

t

Answer 2

slope =
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 5) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m =
`(5-3)/(2+2)` =
`(2)/(4)` =
`(1)/(2)`
