Answer:

The slope of this line is -3.

Explanation:

To find the slope of this line, first you have to use slope formula of
\Rightarrow\displaystyle(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(rise)/(run).

5-(-4)

(-2)-1


\displaystyle (5+4)/((-2)-1)=(9)/(-3)=(9/3)/(-3/3)=(3)/(-1)=-3

As a result, the correct answer is -3.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

3

Explanation:

In the Slope-Intercept Formula, y = mx + b, m is the Rate of Change [Slope]. Anyway, starting from the y-intercept of [0, 2], move 3 units north over 1 unit east. That is called rise\run 3\1 = 3.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
