Question

positive
negative
0
undefined

Answer 1

The slope of the line that joins the points is negative.

i.e m = -6/5

Explanation:

Taking two points from the graph to determine the slope

• (-3, 4)

• (2, -2)

Finding the slope between (-3, 4),(2, -2)

`\mathrm{Slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`'

`\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-3,\:4\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(2,\:-2\right)`

`m=(-2-4)/(2-\left(-3\right))`

`m=-(6)/(5)`

Therefore, the slope of the line that joins the points is negative.

i.e m = -6/5
