A.
Table 2

B.
Table 1 and Table 2

C.
Table 1 and Table 3

D.
All of the above

Answer 1

B. Table 1 and Table 2

Explanation:

Table 1

The slope is Δy/Δx = (41 -32)/(3 -0) = 9/3 = 3.

Table 2

The slope is Δy/Δx = (8 -5)/(2 -1) = 3/1 = 3

Table 3

The slope is Δy/Δx = (18 -24)/(2 -0) = -6/2 = -3

__

The tables that represent a slope of 3 are Table 1 and Table 2.
