To find the slope between two points on a graph, we use the slope formula:

$\text{slope} (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Looking at the table, you have the following points:

• Point 1: $(-2, 5)$
• Point 2: $(-1, 3)$

Using the slope formula with these points: $m = \frac{3 - 5}{-1 - (-2)} = \frac{-2}{-1 + 2} = \frac{-2}{1} = -2$

Thus, the slope is $-2$.

Would you like further clarification or additional details on how this was calculated?

Here are 5 related questions you could explore:

1. How would the slope change if we picked two different points from the table?
2. What does a negative slope tell you about the relationship between $x$ and $y$?
3. How do you calculate the slope for vertical or horizontal lines?
4. Can the slope of a line be zero? If so, in what scenario?
5. What is the significance of the slope in real-world applications like distance-time graphs?

Tip: A steeper negative slope means the line decreases faster as $x$ increases.
