The points represented by the table below lie on a line. find the slope of the line x: 3,1,-1,-3,-5 y: -4,1,6,11,16

The slope of this line would be -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we use the slope formula.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (1 - -4)/(1 - 3)

m = (1 + 4)/(1 - 3)

m = 5/-2

m = -5/2

last one.

step-by-step explanation:

last one.

generally speaking, the others follow some sort of pattern that correlates to either linear (looks like a straight line) or sinusoidal (looks like an s).

the last one is just a random cloud of points that doesn't correlate to any particular known order.
