Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of a line is calculated by the change in the y-values divided by the change in the x-values. Without specific data from the table, we can't calculate the exact slope, but if the slope is positive, it means as one variable increases, the other also increases, which eliminates negative options. If the correct answer is given as C) 2, it implies that for every unit increase in the x-variable, the y-variable increases by 2 units.
