Question

Find the slope each line.
5)

Answer 1

y=-3/4x + 2

Explanation:

Since you already picked up the 2 points in the line, all we have to do is count the number of squares for the rise/run

To get the rise, you go down the first point by -3 (since you are moving down its negative 3) then for the run, you go right by 4 (Since you are moving right you get positive 4)

rise = -3

run = +4

y=mx+b

y = -3/4x + b

Now to find the y intercept, which is "b" in the equation above, you just look at the graph and find out where the y intercept is, in this case, I'd say its about 2.

y = -3/4x + 2
