Exercise 7 Page 190

Choose two points from the table to use the Slope Formula.

3

Practice makes perfect

We have been given the following table of values.

x 0 1 2 3
y 2 5 8 11
We will find the slope of the function represented by the table using the Slope Formula. m=y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1 In the formula, m represents the slope, and (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) represent two points that satisfy the function. Let's use (0,2) as our first point and (1,5) as our second point.
m=y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1
m=5- 2/1- 0
m=3/1
m=3
We found that the slope of the line represented by the given table is m=3.
