What is the slope of the line that contains these points?х: 5 6 7 8y: -5 -6 -7 -8

Answer
Explanation
For a straight line, the slope of the line can be obtained when the coordinates of two points on the line are known. If the coordinates are (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the slope is given as
[tex]Slope=m=\frac{Change\text{ in y}}{Change\text{ in x}}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex](x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are picked from the table using
