Which statement correctly describes the slope of the linear function that is represented by the data in the table?

x
y
8
–8
8
–4
8
0
8
4
8
8
The slope is positive.
The slope is negative.
The slope is zero.
There is no slope.

To determine the slope of a linear function from a table, we can use the formula:

slope = (change in y) / (change in x)

First, let's calculate the change in y and change in x between any two points in the table:

For the first two points:
change in y = -4 - (-8) = 4
change in x = 8 - 8 = 0

For the second two points:
change in y = 0 - (-4) = 4
change in x = 8 - 8 = 0

For the third two points:
change in y = 4 - 0 = 4
change in x = 8 - 8 = 0

We can see that for all the pairs of points, the change in x is always zero. This means that the denominator of the slope formula would be zero, and division by zero is undefined. Therefore, the slope for this table is undefined.

So, the correct statement is: There is no slope.

no s;ope

What is the answer

When you graph this line it is straight up and down...

Thus it has a BIG rise, and no run...
Thus it has an UNDEFINED slope : )
