Answer: B) 2/3
====================================================
Work Shown:
Method 1
Apply the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (3-1)/(-1 - (-4)) ..... using the first two rows as points
m = (3-1)/(-1 + 4)
m = 2/3 is the slope
-----------------------------------
Method 2
Each time y goes up by 2, x goes up by 3.
For instance, the jump from y = 1 to y = 3 is "plus 2". At the same time, the jump from x = -4 to x = -1 is "plus 3".
We can then say
slope = (rise)/(run)
slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
slope = (y increase by 2)/(x increase by 3)
slope = 2/3
