Two points defining a linear function are shown in the table. x y negative 14 negative 18 negative 10 negative 12 What is the slope of the function?

Use the slope formula: change in y divided by change in x. From (-14, -18) to (-10, -12), the y-value increases by 6 and the x-value increases by 4, so the slope is 6/4 = 3/2. The correct choice is 3 halves.
