yyy -24−24minus, 24 -21−21minus, 21 -18−18minus, 18 -15−15minus, 15

Respuesta :

The slope of the linear function containing these points is of 1.

Linear functions:

A linear function is modeled by:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, the change in y divided by the change in x.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

In this problem, the points given are: (-24,-21) and (-18,-15), hence, the slope is given by:

[tex]m = \frac{-15 - (-21)}{-18 - (-24)} = \frac{6}{6} = 1[/tex]
