Question

The ordered pairs in the table below represent a linear function.
ху
2
3
5
9
W
What is the slope of the function?
1/4
1/2
2
4

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ordered pairs are (2,3) and (5,9).

It is given that the function is linear.

Since it is linear, the graph of the function is a straight line.

Slope of the straight line is constant at all points lying on it.

Slope of a straight line containing the points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is given by:

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}$.

Slope of the straight line containing (2,3) and (5,9) is given by:

$\frac{9-3}{5-2}=\frac{6}{3}=2$.

Answer 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope you use the formula Y2-Y1/X2-X1, so it would be (9-3)/(5-2) which equals 6/3

You then reduce to get 2
