The table represents a linear function. Two Columns Five Rows Column X (-2,-1,0,1,2) and Column Y (8,2,-4,-10,-16) What is the slope of the function? a. -6 b. -4 c. 4 d. 6

A

Slope = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the column of the table are:

Column X (-2,-1,0,1,2) and

Column Y (8,2,-4,-10,-16) 

Since the table represent a linear function, the equation of the function will obey the general linear equation

Y = MX + C

Where M = slope

M = ( Y2 - Y1 ) / ( X2 - X1 )

Let Y1 = 8, Y2 = 2 and X1 = -2 and X2 = -1

Substitutes all the parameters into the formula

M = ( 2 - 8 )/( -1 - - 2 )

M = ( 2 - 8 ) / ( -1 + 2 )

M = -6/1

M = -6

Therefore, the slope of the function is -6

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
