A table representing a linear relationship is shown
What is the slope of the line?
X / Y
2 / 2
4 / 7
6 / 12
1 answer
To find the slope of the line, we need to calculate the change in Y divided by the change in X. Looking at the table, we can see that the change in Y between the first two points is 7 - 2 = 5, and the change in X is 4 - 2 = 2. Therefore, the slope is 5/2.
