Find the slope of the line represented by the table of values.
A) −4
B) −1/4
C) 4
D) 1/4

Answer:
B) −1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope represents the change in y values divided by the change in x values. We can use the formula
slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(2,4) (-2,5)
slope = (5-4)/(-2-2)
= 1/-4
slope = -1/4
Answer:
B. -1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the slope you have to use the formula: y2-y1/x2-x1
y2-y1/x2-x1 = 4.47-5/-1-(-2)
4.75-5 = -.25
-1 - (-2) = 1
-.25/1 = -.25 or -1/4
