Question

The table represents a linear function.

Answer 1

You could take any 2 points given in the table and use the slope formula to find the slope of this linear function.  Can you do that?

Example:  one point is (-2,8); another is (2,-16).  I see immediately that if x increases, y decreases, so I know that the slope is negative.
         rise         -16-8         -24
m = ---------  = ----------- = -------- = ???
          run          2-(-2)          4

Answer 2

Answer:

the slope of the function is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

You could  use the slope formula to find the slope of this linear function.  

just two points are needed,let´s take these ones

p1(-1,2)  and p2(0,-4)

$s=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} \\s=\frac{-4-2}{0-(-1)} \\s=\frac{-6}{1} \\s=-6$

so, we have that the slope of the line is -6

I hope it helps you

Have a fantastic day
