The slope:


m=(\Delta y)/(\Delta x)

Look at the picture.

6 units down → -6

2 units right → 2


m=(-6)/(2)=-3

Answer: Slope = m = -3

answer:
(3)/(-1) x

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept formula ==>
y = mx + b


m is slope , and
b is y-intercept


to find the slope you need to start at the y intercept and go 3 units up and 1 unit left. and if you repeat it again, until you reach the top of the graph and that would make partial of the line.

so, the slope is
(rise)/(run), so if you plug it in it would look like this


y = (3)/(-1) x + b


A D D I T I O N A L I N F O

then you find the y-intercept which would be where the line intersects at the y axis, which is -10. plug the number into the equation


y = (3)/(-1) x - 10

and that would make our final answer.


hope this helps! correct me if there is anything wrong ❤ from peachimin
