Question

What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

1.6

Explanation:

to find the slope, find two points on the line in the graph.

i'll be using (-1, 4) and (4, -4).

substitute the points into the rise over run equation.

`(rise)/(run) = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) =(-4-4)/(-1-4)`

solve the fraction by subtracting first. always remember to subtract the values.

`(-4-4)/(-1-4)=` 1.6

hope this helps (:

Answer 2

8/5

Explanation:

(-1, 4) (4, -4)

-4-4 over 4-(-1)

That is -8/-5.

-8/-5 is simplified to 8/5
