Use the following table to find the slope.
x | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
y | -7 | -5 | -3 | -1 | 1
What is the slope:

Answer

To find the slope, use the formula for the slope between two points: slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Using the points (1, -7) and (2, -5):

y2 = -5, y1 = -7, x2 = 2, x1 = 1
slope = (-5 - (-7)) / (2 - 1) = (2) / (1) = 2

The slope is 2.
