Math Problem Statement
Find the slope for each line based on the given representation. (Table of values provided)
Solution
To find the slope of a line given the data points in a table, we use the formula for the slope :
Using the points from the table:
-1 | 19 |
0 | 13 |
1 | 7 |
2 | 1 |
Let's calculate the slope between two consecutive points, for example between and :
To confirm consistency, check the slope between other points, such as and :
Thus, the slope of the line is .
