Determining negative slope from a table

The video tutorial explains how to determine the slope using a table of values. It emphasizes that the values do not need to be adjacent and demonstrates the process of selecting two values to calculate the change in Y coordinates over the change in X coordinates. The tutorial provides an example calculation, highlighting the importance of subtracting values correctly to find the slope, which is determined to be -2 in the given example.

What is the primary requirement for determining the slope from a table?

• Values must be integers.

• Any two values can be chosen.

• Values must be consecutive.

• Values must be positive.

In the example provided, what is the change in the Y coordinates?

• -4

• -2

• 2

• 4

How do you handle a double negative when calculating the change in Y coordinates?

• Add the values.

• Ignore it.

• Convert it to a positive.

• Subtract the values.

What is the calculated slope in the given example?

• 0

• 1

• 2

• -2

Why is it important to understand the change in values when determining the slope?

• To accurately calculate the slope.

• To avoid errors in addition.

• To ensure values are positive.

• To find the midpoint.
