Question

Lorena calculated the slope of the linear function that is represented by the table of values as shown

Answer 1

She made a mistake when she subtracted x 1 from x 2.

Answer 2

Lorena made a mistake when she subtracted x1 from x2

Explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

In this problem we have

`=(63-51)/(-2-(-4))`

`=(12)/(-2+4)`

`=(12)/(2)`

`=6`

The points are
`(-4,51)` and
`(-2,63)`

therefore

Lorena made a mistake when she subtracted x1 from x2
