What is the slope of the line represented by the table of values? (HINT: There are two videos below that show how to find slope).
heres the table (x is on the left)
-7 9
-2 1
3 -7
8 -15
Answer choices-
-8/5
-5/8
8/5
5/8
To find the slope of the line represented by the table of values, you need to first find two points on the line. Let's take (-7,9) and (8,-15).
Now, use the slope formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
So, slope = (-15 - 9) / (8 - (-7))
= -24 / 15
= -8/5
Therefore, the slope of the line represented by the table of values is -8/5.
