Now, think of this table as a set of ordered pairs. This means that the first row can be placed in an ordered pair as (1, 50). The second row can be written as (2, 100). Using this, what is the slope of the line that connects the first two points?

To calculate the slope of the line that connects (1, 50) and (2, 100), we need to use the slope formula, which is:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.

Substituting the values, we get:

slope = (100 - 50) / (2 - 1)

slope = 50

Therefore, the slope of the line that connects the first two points is 50.
