The data in the table are linear. Use the table to find the slope.

X| 2| 4| 6| 8
Y| 1|-2|-5|-8

A. 3/2
B. -3/2
C. -2/3
D. 2/3
Please help me work this out I don't know how to do this kind of stuff. Thank you in advance.
Answered by Reiny
use the first two ordered pairs, since we are told the function is linear

(2,1) and (4,-2)

slope = (-2-1)/(4-2) = -3/2

To hear , " I don't know how to do this kind of stuff" is not a good thing.
Finding slope between any two points is fundamental and pretty basic.

please explain step by step, find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line containing the points (-2,-1) and 2,-3)

I apologize for the confusion. I believe there was a mistake in the calculation.

To find the slope using the table, we can use any two points. Let's take the points (2,1) and (4,-2):

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
= (-2 -1)/(4 - 2)
= -3/2

Therefore, the slope of the line is -3/2.

Yes, I can definitely explain it step by step.

We are given the following table:

```
X | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8
---|-----|-----|-----|----
Y | 1 | -2 | -5 | -8
```

To find the slope, we need to use the formula:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

We can choose any two points from the table to calculate the slope. Let's choose the first two points (2,1) and (4,-2).

To calculate the change in y, we subtract the y-coordinates of the two points:

change in y = y2 - y1 = -2 - 1 = -3

To calculate the change in x, we subtract the x-coordinates of the two points:

change in x = x2 - x1 = 4 - 2 = 2

Now we can substitute these values into the formula for slope:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x) = -3/2

Therefore, the slope of the line is -3/2.

Sure, I'd be happy to explain how to solve the problem step by step.

To find the slope of a line that is parallel to another line, we need to use the fact that parallel lines have the same slope. So, we can start by finding the slope of the line that passes through the points (3,4) and (2,6):

slope = (change in y) / (change in x)

slope = (6 - 4) / (2 - 3)

slope = -2

The slope of this line is -2. This means that any line that is parallel to this line will also have slope -2.

So, the answer to the problem is that the slope of a line that is parallel to the line containing the points (3,4) and (2,6) is -2.

Sure, I can explain how to find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line containing the points (-2,-1) and (2,-3) step by step.

To find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to another line, we can use the fact that perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.

Step 1: Find the slope of the line containing the points (-2,-1) and (2,-3)

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
= (-3 -(-1)) / (2 -(-2))
= -2 / 4
= -1/2

So, the slope of the line containing the points (-2,-1) and (2,-3) is -1/2.

Step 2: Find the negative reciprocal of -1/2

The negative reciprocal of a number is found by flipping the fraction and changing its sign.

The negative reciprocal of -1/2 is 2/1, or simply 2.

Therefore, the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line containing the points (-2,-1) and (2,-3) is 2.
