Answer: The correct option is (B) -4.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that the table shown represents a linear function.
We are to find the slope of the function.
We know that
the slope of a linear function satisfying the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by
[tex]m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}.[/tex]
From the table, we note that
the given linear function satisfy the points (-4, -2) and (-2, -10).
Therefore, the slope of the linear function will be
[tex]m=\dfrac{-10-(-2)}{-2-(-4)}=\dfrac{-8}{2}=-4.[/tex]
Thus, the required slope of the function is -4.
Option (B) is CORRECT.
