Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The table represents a linear function.
To Find : slope of the function
Solution:
x y
-2 8
-1 2
0 -4
1 -10
2 -16
Slope of the line = ( 2 - 8) / ( - 1 -(-2))
= - 6 / 1
= - 6
-6 is slope of the line
y -(-4) = -6(x - 0)
=> y + 4 = -6x
=> 6x + y + 4 = 0 is Equation of line
slope of the function = - 6

THIRD OPTION.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope can found by using the following formula:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
In this case, in order to find the slope of the given function, we need to choose two points from the table provided in the exercise. Let's choose these points:
[tex](-2,-2)\\\\(2,10)[/tex]
We can identify that:
[tex]y_2=-2\\y_1=10\\\\x_2=-2\\x_1=2[/tex]
Substituting these values into the formula, we get that the slope of the function is:
[tex]m=\frac{-2-10}{-2-2}\\\\m=3[/tex]
This matches with the third option.

Step-by-step explanation:
the slope of the graph is 4 ( because -4 minus 0 is negative 4 but u have to flip it to a positive number)
