Answer:

slope (m) = 6

Explanation:

To get the slope of the line of the given table of values, all we need is just 2 coordinate pairs from the table. We can pick any two.

Let's use, (-1, 0), and (0, 6).

Apply the formula,
(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) , where,

(-1, 0) = (x_1, y_1)

(0, 6) = (x_2, y_2)

Thus:

m = (6 - 0)/(0 - (-1))

m = (6)/(1)

slope (m) = 6
