the table represents a linear function.

a two column table with six rows. the first row, x, has the entries negative 4, negative 2, negative 1, 1, 2. the second column, y, has the entries, negative 2, negative 10, negative 14, negative 22, negative 26.
what is the slope of the function?

–8
–4
2
5

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell because every time the slope decreases by 5.

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

the answer is 5/14.

hope this .
