Assume that the table shows a set of values for two variables that are linearly related. If these assumptions are false, you cannot do answer the question.
Suppose the first set of values is for a variable, x, and the second set is for y.
Select any two [ordered] pairs data: (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). Then the slope between these two points is (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) provided x2 ≠ x1. If x2 = x1 then the slope is undefined.

Slope is rise over run, so if you have a rise of 2 and a run of 4, then the slope is 0.5. If the table gives rises and runs, then just follow the two until they meet, that should be the slope.
Pick any two points in the table. The slope of the line is(change in the y-value from one point to the other)/(change in the x-value from the same point to the other)
from a table to a graph just graph x and y (on a coordinate plane) from table to equation find the slope of the line and the y intercept. your equation should be in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
The slope can be a fraction.
You find the slope of the tangent to the curve at the point of interest.
