Two points defining a linear function are shown in the table below.

x y
–14 –18
–10 –12

what is the slope of the function?
2/3
3/2
2
6

ANSWER

The slope is



EXPLANATION

From the table we can write the ordered pairs,



The slope formula is given by,



We substitute the points to get,



We then simplify to get,


This simplifies to,



We reduce to the lowest term to get,



Therefore the correct answer is B.

Ucan draw that on a graph sheet and count the no. of units and apply the area formula of rectangle
