Question

The table represents a linear function.
A two column table with six rows. The first column, x, has the entries, negative 2, negative 1, 0, 1, 2. The second column, y, has the entries, negative 8, 2, negative 4, negative 10, negative 16.
What is the slope of the function?
–6
–4
4
6

Answer 1

Given :  The table represents a linear function.

To Find  : slope of the function

–6

–4

4

6

Solution:

x            y

-2          8

-1           2

0          -4

1          -10

2          -16

Slope of the line  = ( 2 - 8) / ( - 1 -(-2))

= - 6 / 1

= - 6

-6 is   slope of the line

y -(-4) = -6(x - 0)

=> y + 4 = -6x

=> 6x + y + 4 = 0  is Equation of line

slope of the function = - 6
