Find the slope of the line that passes through the points shown in the table.

the slope of the line that passes through the points in the table is what?

Answer-

The slope of the line that passes through the points is

Solution-

As there is a single line passing through all these points, so taking any two points and then applying the formula for slope will give the slope of the line.

The points are,

(-14, 8), (-7, 6), (0, 4), (7, 2), (14, 0)

Taking two points as, (0, 4), (7, 2)

x₁ = 0

y₁ = 4

x₂ = 7

y₂ = 2

Putting the values,

Therefore, the slope of the line that passes through the points is
