To find the slope of the graph, we can use the formula:
slope = change in y / change in x
Let's choose two pairs of ordered pairs from the table:
Pair 1: (-1, -3)
Pair 2: (3, 5)
The change in y is: 5 - (-3) = 5 + 3 = 8
The change in x is: 3 - (-1) = 3 + 1 = 4
slope = 8/4 = 2
The slope of the graph is 2.
Therefore, the correct choice is:
OA. The slope is 2.
