What is the slope of the function, represented by the table of values below? x=-2,0,4,6,9 y=10,4,-8,-14,-23

We'll assume that this is a linear function, since "slope" hints at a constant rate of change.

As x increases from -2 to 0, an increase of 2, y decreases from 10 to 4, a change of -6.

Thus, the slope is m = -6 / 2, or m = -3.

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1
