The slope of the linear relationship can be calculated using the formula:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
Taking the values from the table:
Change in y = -2 - 6 = -8
Change in x = 6 - (-2) = 8
Substitute the values into the formula:
slope = -8 / 8
slope = -1
Therefore, the slope of the relationship is -1.
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
Taking the values from the table:
Change in y = -2 - 6 = -8
Change in x = 6 - (-2) = 8
Substitute the values into the formula:
slope = -8 / 8
slope = -1
Therefore, the slope of the relationship is -1.
