Answer:
The slops is -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x: -1 1 3 5
y: 10 2 -6 -14
Required
The slope
Pick any pair of x and y
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (-1,10)[/tex]
[tex](x_2,y_2) = (1,2)[/tex]
The slope is:
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{2 -10}{1 --1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{-8}{2}[/tex]
[tex]m = -4[/tex]
