Question

Urgent! FndThe slope of the line graph below

Answer 1

The slope of given line = -3/5

Explanation:

Formula:

Slope of a line passing through (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

slope = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x1)

From the figure we can see that a line graph

To find two coordinate on the graph

Fro figure we get,

1) (x₁, y₁) = (-1, -1)

2) (x₂, y₂) = (4, -4)

To find the slope of given line

Slope = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x1) = (-4 - -1)/(4- -1) = (-4 + 1)/(4 +1) = -3/5

Therefore the slope of given line = -3/5

Answer 2

The slope is
`-(3)/(5)`

Explanation:

The straight line passes through

`(x_1,y_1)=(4,-4)` and
`(x_2,y_2)=(-1,-1)`.

The slope of this line can be found using the formula;

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Substitute the coordinates;

`m=(-1--4)/(-1-4)`

simplify;

`m=(3)/(-5)`

`m=-(3)/(5)`
