Question 5 • Mathematics 8

The ordered pairs in the given table represent a linear function. x y 6 2 9 8 What is the slope of the function?

Answer
A
2
B
1 half
C
1 fourth
D
4

Explanation

Use the slope formula: change in y divided by change in x. From (6, 2) to (9, 8), the change in y is 8 − 2 = 6 and the change in x is 9 − 6 = 3, so the slope is 6 ÷ 3 = 2. The correct choice is A, 2.
