Practice makes perfect
Looking at the table, we can identify 4 ordered pairs. (-1,-6), (2,-6), (5,-6), (8,-6)Note that there is no change in y. We can choose any two points from the table and use the Slope Formula. m = y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1 We will substitute the points (-1,-6) and (2,-6) for (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2), respectively, to find the slope m.
m = y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1
m=-6-( -6)/2-( -1)
m=-6+6/2+1
m=0/3
m=0
