A line passes through the points in this table.
x y
7 -5
4 4
1 13
-2 22
What is the slope of the line?
To find the slope of the line, we can use the formula for slope, which is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.
Let's choose two points from the table, say (7, -5) and (1, 13):
Slope = (13 - (-5)) / (1 - 7)
Slope = (13 + 5) / (-6)
Slope = 18 / -6
Slope = -3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points in the table is -3.
