Question

These points are linear. Find the slope.

Answer 1

slope = 8

Explanation:

Take 2 points from the given table:

`\textsf{let}\:(x_1,y_1)=(0,8)`

`\textsf{let}\:(x_2,y_2)=(-1,0)`

Use the slope formula to find the slope:

`\textsf{slope}\:(m)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(0-8)/(-1-0)=(-8)/(-1)=8`

Answer 2

8

Explanation:

Concepts

The formula to find the slope of a line given two points is
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`. These points represent the x- and y-coordinates of the points.

Application

To find the slope of these points, we need to take two points and use the aforementioned formula. Let's take (0, 8), and (1, 16).

Solution

• 
  `((16)-(8))/((1)-(0))`
• 
  `(8)/(1)`
• 
  `8`

Therefore, the slope is 8.
