Answer:

The slope is 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached table

Required

The slope

Pick 2 points of the table, we have:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (-1,3)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (5,-5)[/tex]

So, the slope (m) is:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{5-3}{5--1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{2}{6}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]m = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
