Answer:

So the slope is -5/2.

Explanation:

  1. You want to look at the line to find the slope of it.
  2. For slope you want to find rise/run. This is the same as: change in y/change in x. awe have 2 points (the blue dots) to find slope.
  3. With this, let's find the change in y and the change in x.
  • For those 2 dots, the change in y is down 5, which means -5 (if it was up 5 it would be 5)
  • For change in x, it is to the right 2, which means 2 (if it was 2 to the left then it would be -2).
  • Therefore, the slope would be change in y/change in x which is -5/2 (the 3rd option)

the slope is -5/2.

since the slope is decreasing, it is negative.
