Question

I’ve tried it many times but I can’t seem to get it can someone please help please please help I really do need help

A) -4
B) -1/4
C)4
D)1/4

Answer 1

-1/4

Explanation:

You can find the slope from a graph several ways.

Here are two ways of doing it.

Method 1. Slope formula

Find two points, then apply the slope formula, m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

We read two easy to read points of the graph: (0, -2) and (4, -3)

m = (y2 - y1)(/(x2 - x1) = [-3 - (-2)]/(4 - 0) = (-3 + 2)/4 = -1/4

Method 2. Rise/Run

Slope = m = rise/run

Pick two points. Start at one point and go to the other point by going vertically (rise) and horizontally). The vertical distance is the rise, and the horizontal distance is the run. Up is positive, and down is negative. Right is positive, and left is negative.

Pick points (0, -2) and (4, -3).

Start at (0, -2). To go to (4, -3), move 1 unit down. That is a rise of -1. Now go horizontally 4 inits to the right. That is a run of 4.

slope = rise/run = -1/4

Answer 2

B) -1/4

The line is sloping downwards so it is a negative slope

Slope is rise/run and to get from one point to another point you would go up 1 unit and to the left 4 units
