Answer: -2 (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

So the slope of the line is the amount that the line changes as it goes along the x or y axis. Think of it like a ramp- goes up or down, steep or flat.

Take a pair of points like (-4, 11) and (2, -1)

{But you can use other points in the chart too. }

-4 to 2 is a distance of 6 --> that is the x

11 to -1 is a distance of -12 --> that is the y

We want the change in y over (or divided by) change in x.

-12 / 6 = -2

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 11) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 1) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m = [tex]\frac{-1-11}{2-(-4)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-12}{2+4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-12}{6}[/tex] = - 2 → B
