Question

can you help me with number five it says the points given in each table lie on a line find the slope of the line then graph the line

Answer 1

The coordinates of two points given in the table can be represented as:

(x1, y1)=(-2, -2)

(x2, y2)=(3, -1)

Now, the slope of the line can be calculated as,

`\begin{gathered} m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) \\ =(-1-(-2))/(3-(-2)) \\ =(-1+2)/(3+2) \\ =(1)/(5) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the slope m of the line is 1/5.

Now, plot the points given and join them them to obtain the graph.

The graph is plotted as follows:
