Answer:

The slope is 3/4

Please correct me if I am wrong please and thank you

Explanation:

I use the slope formula
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Plug in (2,1) and (-2,-2)

1-(-2)/2-2

= 3/4

Answer:

3/4

Explanation:

The slope of this line is 3/4. Slope is the rise over run or the change in y over the change in x. So one way to find the slope is to count how much y and x changes, in this graph between the 2 points y increases by 3 and x increases by 4. So the final slope is 3/4, (if one value decreases then the slope is negative). One way to visually check the slope is to remember that slopes less than -1 or greater than 1 make the line steeper while fraction slopes make the line flatter. Also, you can use the slope formula,
\frac{y_{2-y_(1) } }{x_(2)-x_(1) } just plug in the values.
