Question

The table below represents a linear function. Identify the slope of the function

Answer 1

The slope is ratio of change in y-coordinate to the change in x-coordinate.

Determine the slope of the function.

`\begin{gathered} m=(2-(-8))/(1-(-1)) \\ =(10)/(2) \\ =5 \end{gathered}`

Thus slope of function is equal to 5.
