Question

Find the slope from the tableA. 3B. 2C. -3D. -1

Answer 1

Use 2 of the given ordered pairs to find the slope of the function. Use the following formula:

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Where y2 and y1 are the y coordinates of the ordered pairs and x2 and x1 are the x coordinates. Replace for the given values:

$m=\frac{2-5}{-2-(-3)}=-\frac{3}{1}=-3$

The slope of the function is -3.
