Question

the points in the table lie on a line. find the slope of the line.
slope: □

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope formula

Slope $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Step2: Pick two points from table

Use $(x_1,y_1)=(-2,3)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(0,4)$

Step3: Substitute into slope formula

$m = \frac{4 - 3}{0 - (-2)} = \frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$
