Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points given in the table.

Answer 1

-1

Explanation:

Use any 2 points on the line.

Let's use (10, -6) and (2, 2).

slope = (difference in y)/(difference in x)

slope = (-6 - 2)/(10 - 2)

slope = -8/8

slope = -1

Answer 2

-1

Explanation:

The change in y between x=-1 and x=2 is -3 and -3/3=-1 so the slope is -1
