The data in the table are linear. Use the table to find the slope.
X: 4 1 -2 -5
Y: 3 2 1 0
To find the slope, we can use the formula:
slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
Using the given table, let's do the calculations:
Change in x = final x - initial x
= -5 - 4
= -9
Change in y = final y - initial y
= 0 - 3
= -3
slope = (-3)/(-9)
= 1/3
Therefore, the slope of the linear data in the table is 1/3.
