3 (option B)
Explanation:
To get the slope from the table, we would pick any two points in the table. This is because any two points should always give same slope.
picking points: (-7, -16) and (-4, -7)
Using the slope formula:
[tex]m\text{ = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} x_1=-7,y_1=-16,x_2=-4,y_2\text{ = }-7 \\ m\text{ = slope =}\frac{-7-(-16)}{-4-(-7)} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{slope =}\frac{-7+16}{-4+7} \\ \text{slope = }\frac{9}{3} \\ \text{slope = 3 (option B)} \end{gathered}[/tex]
