Question

Find the slope of the lines graphed below.

Answer 1

Slope is
`-(7)/(4)`

Explanation:

See the graph attached to the question.

The graph of the straight line passes through the points ( 0,3 ) and ( 4,-4 ).

Therefore, the slope of the straight line will be
`(-4-3)/(4-0) = -(7)/(4)` ( Answer )

Since we know that the slope of a straight line passing through the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by
`(y2-y1)/(x2 -x1)`.
