The table represents a linear function. what is the slope of the function? -10 –5 5 10

 The correct option is (C) 5.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the slope of the linear function represented by the table below:

x   -4    -2     0      2      4

y    -16  -6    4     14     24

Therefore, the points lying on the straight line represented by the function are

(x, y) = (-4, -16), (-2, -6), (0, 4), (2, 14), (4, 24), etc..

We know that if (a, b) and (c, d) be any two points lying on a straight line, then the slope of the line will be

Let,

be the two points.

Therefore, the slope of the given linear function is

Thus, the slope of the function is .

Option (C) is correct.
