Respuesta :
The slope = difference in y-values / corresponding difference in x values
= 0 - (-2) / (3-2) = 2/1 = 2 Answer
= 0 - (-2) / (3-2) = 2/1 = 2 Answer
Answer: The slope of the given line is 2.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the slope of the line represented by the values in the following table :
x 10 2 3 7 20
y 14 -2 0 8 34
We know that
the slope of a line passing through the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by
[tex]m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}.[/tex]
From the table, we note that
the line passes through the points (2, -2) and (3, 0).
Therefore, the slope of the given line is
[tex]m=\dfrac{0-(-2)}{3-2}=\dfrac{2}{1}=2.[/tex]
Thus, the slope of the given line is 2.
