Question

Suppose f is a linear function such as f( - 2)= - 7 and f( 6)= - 3. Find the slope of the line.

Write your answer as a decimal.

**Problem Statement:** Suppose \( f \) is a linear function such as \( f(-2) = -7 \) and \( f(6) = -3 \). Find the slope of the line. Write your answer as a decimal. **Solution:** The slope \( m \) of a linear function can be found using the formula: \[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \] Given: - \( (x_1, y_1) = (-2, -7) \) - \( (x_2, y_2) = (6, -3) \) Substitute these values into the formula to find the slope. **Answer:** Write your answer as a decimal in the blank provided. \( m = \) [Blank 1] **Input Box:** Add your answer
