Question

PLEASE HELP WHAT IS THE SLOPE OF THE FUNCTION REPRESENTED BY THE TABLE OF VALUES BELOW???

Answer 1

First, remember that the formula for the slope of a line between two points is

`( y_(2) - y_(1) )/( x_(2) - x_(1) )`
Let's choose two coordinates, (-2,13) and (3,-7), and substitute them into the formula and simplify for the gradient:

`( - 7 - 13)/(3 - - 2) = ( - 20)/(5) = - 4`

So, the slope of the function is -4.
