The data in the table are linear Use the table to find the slope 2 4 6 8 12 5 8 point) 3/2; - 3/2; - 2/3; 2/3
To find the slope of the linear data in the table, we can pick any two points and use the formula for slope:
Slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
Let's pick the points (2, 5) and (8, 12) from the table:
Slope = (12 - 5) / (8 - 2)
Slope = 7 / 6
Slope = 7/6
Therefore, the slope of the linear data in the table is 7/6.
