Question

The Ordered pairs in the table below represent a function. What is the slope of the function? -3,7 -9,-2

Answer 1

m = 3/2

Explanation:

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Points (-3,7) (-9,-2)

We see the y decrease by 9, and the x decrease by 6, so the slope is

m = -9 / -6 = 3/2
