slope of a line is expressed as;
[tex]m\text{ = }\frac{y_2-y_{1_{}}}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]from the table 4
when x1 = -1, y1 =3
when x2 = 1, y2 = 6
Find the slope using this coordinates;
[tex]\begin{gathered} m\text{ = }\frac{6-3}{1-(-1)} \\ m\text{ = }\frac{3}{1+1} \\ m\text{ = }\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the slope or rate of change is 3/2
