What is the slope of the linear function in decimal form?

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line passing through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is,

m = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

By applying this rule in the table attached,

Let the two points are (35, 94) and (45, 88) through which the graph of a linear function is passing.

Slope of the linear graph = $\frac{94-88}{45-35}$

                                          = $\frac{6}{10}$

                                          = 0.6

Therefore, slope of the linear function is 0.6
