Answer:
The slope of the line is -2.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
The "m" variable is the slope.
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1}}[/tex]
[tex]y_{2}[/tex] is the second "y" value given in the table. [tex]y_{1}[/tex] is the first value given. Same thing for [tex]x_{2}[/tex] and [tex]x_{1}[/tex].
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1}}[/tex]
m = [tex]\frac{(-5) - 3}{(-1) - (-5)}[/tex]
m = [tex]\frac{-8}{4}[/tex]
m = -2
