Question

I can't get the answer lol

Answer 1

Answer:

-7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that slope, m, is defined as the ratio rise to run:  rise/run.

Note that if we start at x = -2 (an arbitrary choice), and move 6 units to the right, we end up at x = 4.  This is the 'run.'  Simultaneously, y starts at 1 and decreases to - 6, a change of -7.  

Thus, the slope of the line through these two points is m = rise/run = -7/4

Answer 2

Answer:

Well, actually it's missing something to your question. I think...

but the question says "The points in the table lie on a line. What is the slope of the line?"

The answer might be "X"

why? still not sure but hope this other one helps...

Step-by-step explanation:

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

(8,-8)  (1,-2)

$x_{1}$ $y_{1}$   $x_{2}$ $y_{2}$

there and you can solve it easy
