attention to negative signs.

Answer 1

Answer:

first box: 3

second box: 1

third box: -3

fourth box: 1

fifth box: -3

Answer 2

Answer:

The missing values are 3 and 1, which gives the fraction -3/1 and a slope of -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are (1,6) and (2,3). Where (1,6) is the first point and (2,3) is the second point.

The slope is defined as

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }=\frac{3-6}{2-1}=\frac{-3}{1} \\ m=-3$

Therefore, the missing values are 3 and 1, which gives the fraction -3/1 and a slope of -3.

Additionally, the slope indicates a decreasing behaviour.
