Question

Find the slope of the line.

Answer 1

The equation for working out the slope of a linear line is:
`(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`, where x and y are the coordinate pairs.

So just pick two of the purple dots on the graph and fill in the equation.

I'll pick the dot that's (-4, 1) and (4, -7).

Now I just do
`(7 - 1)/(4 - -4)`, which is just
`(3)/(4)` when simplified.
