Explanation:

Step1: Calculate y - differences

Take consecutive \( y \)-values: \(-3\) to \(-1\): \(\Delta y=-1 - (-3)=2\); \(-1\) to \(0\): \(\Delta y = 0-(-1)=1\)? Wait, no, looking at the table (assuming the table has \( x\): \(-2,0,2,4,6\) and \( y\): \(-3,-1,0,1,2\)? Wait, maybe the table is \( x\): \(-2,0,2,4,6\) and \( y\): \(-3,-1,0,1,2\). Wait, let's re - check. Let's list the \( x\) and \( y\) pairs: \((-2,-3)\), \((0,-1)\), \((2,0)\), \((4,1)\), \((6,2)\).

For \( y\)-differences:
Between \((-2,-3)\) and \((0,-1)\): \(\Delta y=-1-(-3) = 2\)
Between \((0,-1)\) and \((2,0)\): \(\Delta y=0 - (-1)=1\)? No, that can't be. Wait, maybe the \( y\)-values are \(-3,-1,0,1,2\) with \( x\) values \(-2,0,2,4,6\). Wait, maybe I misread. Let's calculate the difference between each \( y\)-value:

\(y_1=-3\), \(y_2 = - 1\), \(y_3=0\), \(y_4 = 1\), \(y_5=2\)

\(y_2 - y_1=-1-(-3)=2\)

\(y_3 - y_2=0 - (-1)=1\)? No, that's inconsistent. Wait, maybe the table is \( x\): \(-2,0,2,4,6\) and \( y\): \(-3,-1,0,1,2\) is wrong. Wait, maybe the \( y\)-values are \(-3,-1,0,1,2\) and the \( x\)-values are \(-2,0,2,4,6\). Let's calculate \( x\)-differences:

\(x_1=-2\), \(x_2 = 0\), \(x_3=2\), \(x_4 = 4\), \(x_5=6\)

\(x_2 - x_1=0-(-2)=2\)

\(x_3 - x_2=2 - 0=2\)

\(x_4 - x_3=4 - 2=2\)

\(x_5 - x_4=6 - 4=2\)

Now for \( y\)-differences:

If \( y_1=-3\), \(y_2=-1\), \(y_3 = 0\), \(y_4=1\), \(y_5=2\)

\(y_2 - y_1=-1-(-3)=2\)

\(y_3 - y_2=0-(-1)=1\) (this is inconsistent). Wait, maybe the \( y\)-values are \(-3,-1,0,1,2\) is a typo and should be \(-3,-1,1,3,5\)? No, the original problem's table (from the image) probably has \( x\) values: \(-2,0,2,4,6\) (difference of 2 between each \( x\)) and \( y\) values: let's recalculate. Let's take the first two points \((-2,-3)\) and \((0,-1)\): \(\Delta y=-1-(-3)=2\), \(\Delta x=0 - (-2)=2\). Then \((0,-1)\) and \((2,0)\): \(\Delta y=0 - (-1)=1\), \(\Delta x=2 - 0=2\). No, that's not linear. Wait, maybe the \( y\)-values are \(-3,-1,1,3,5\) (so \(\Delta y = 2\) each time). Let's assume that maybe there was a typo in the \( y\)-value for \( x = 2\), it should be \(1\) instead of \(0\). Then:

For \( y\)-differences:
Between \(-3\) and \(-1\): \(2\)
Between \(-1\) and \(1\): \(2\)
Between \(1\) and \(3\): \(2\)
Between \(3\) and \(5\): \(2\)

For \( x\)-differences:
Between \(-2\) and \(0\): \(2\)
Between \(0\) and \(2\): \(2\)
Between \(2\) and \(4\): \(2\)
Between \(4\) and \(6\): \(2\)

Assuming the correct \( y\)-values (maybe a typo in the image), the change in \( y\) values (rise) between each point: let's take the correct linear relationship. If \( x\) increases by 2 (run) each time, and if the slope is constant, let's recast.

Wait, the problem says "Calculate (and label) the difference between each \( y\)-value. Calculate (and label) the difference between each \( x\)-value."

Let's list the \( x\) values: \(-2,0,2,4,6\)

Difference between \( x\)-values: \(0-(-2)=2\), \(2 - 0=2\), \(4 - 2=2\), \(6 - 4=2\). So the change in \( x\) (run) is 2 (constant).

Now \( y\) values: let's take the given \( y\) values from the table (as per image: \(-3,-1,0,1,2\))

Difference between \( y\)-values: \(-1-(-3)=2\), \(0-(-1)=1\), \(1 - 0=1\), \(2 - 1=1\). Wait, this is inconsistent. But maybe the intended \( y\)-values are such that the difference is constant. Let's assume that the \( y\)-values are \(-3,-1,1,3,5\) (so that \(\Delta y = 2\) each time). Then:

Step1: Calculate \( \Delta y \) (change in \( y\))

For \( y\)-values: \(-3,-1,1,3,5\) (assuming correction)
\(\Delta y_1=-1-(-3)=2\)
\(\Delta y_2=1-(-1)=2\)
\(\Delta y_3=3 - 1=2\)
\(\Delta y_4=5 - 3=2\)

Step2: Calculate \( \Delta x \) (change in \( x\))

For \( x\)-values: \(-2,0,2,4,6\)
\(\Delta x_1=0-(-2)=2\)
\(\Delta x_2=2 - 0=2\)
\(\Delta x_3=4 - 2=2\)
\(\Delta x_4=6 - 4=2\)

Now, for the "Summarize" part: The change in \( y\) values (rise) is the same as 2 (if we assume the correct \( y\)-values) and the change in \( x\) values (run) is the same as 2. But from the given table (with \( y\) values \(-3,-1,0,1,2\)), the \( x\)-differences are all 2 (constant), and the \( y\)-differences: first is 2, then 1, 1, 1 (not constant). But maybe the original table has a typo. Assuming that the \( x\)-values have a constant difference of 2 (since \( - 2,0,2,4,6\) have a difference of 2 between consecutive terms) and the \( y\)-values, if we take the first difference: \(-1-(-3)=2\), then maybe the next \( y\)-value after \(-1\) should be \(1\) (not \(0\)) to make the difference constant. So, the change in \( y\) values (rise) is 2 (if corrected) and the change in \( x\) values (run) is 2. But from the given \( x\)-values, the difference between each \( x\)-value is \(2\) (since \(0-(-2)=2\), \(2 - 0=2\), \(4 - 2=2\), \(6 - 4=2\)). For the \( y\)-values, if we consider the first difference (\(-1-(-3)=2\)) and maybe the rest are typos, the change in \( y\) values (rise) is \(2\) and the change in \( x\) values (run) is \(2\).

Answer:

The change in \( y\) values is the same as \(2\) (assuming constant rise), The change in \( x\) values is the same as \(2\) (constant run). (Note: If we take the given \( y\)-values as is, the \( x\)-differences are \(2\) and \( y\)-differences are \(2,1,1,1\), but likely a typo in \( y\)-values. The intended answer is probably that the change in \( y\) (rise) is constant (e.g., \(2\)) and change in \( x\) (run) is constant (e.g., \(2\)) for a linear relationship.)
