Answer:

The slope of the line = m = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table

x           3          6            8           12

y           7          16          22          34

Taking any two points let say (3, 7) and (6, 16)

  • (x₁, y₁) = (3, 7)
  • (x₂, y₂) = (6, 16)

Using the formula

Slope = m =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]  

                 =  [16 - 7] / [6 - 3]

                  = 9 / 3

                 = 3

Therefore, the slope of the line = m = 3
