The slope is –3.
Solution:
To find the slope of the line:
The given points in the table lie on a line.
Take any two points from the line.
Let the points are (0, 2) and (3, –7).
[tex]x_1=0,y_1=2,x_2=3, y_2=-7[/tex]
Slope of the line formula:
[tex]$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
[tex]$m=\frac{-7-2}{3-0}[/tex]
[tex]$m=\frac{-9}{3}[/tex]
m = –3
The slope is –3.
