What is the slope of the line that contains these points? xxx -4−4minus, 4 -3−3minus, 3 -2−2minus, 2 -1−1minus, 1 yyy 222 555 888 111111

Given:

The table of values is

x        y

-4      2

-3      5

-2       8

-1       11

To find:

The slope of the line that contains these points.

Solution:

From the given table consider any two point.

Let the line passes through the points (-4,2) and (-3,5). So, the equation of the line is

Using distributive property, we get

Therefore, the required equation of line is .
