Question

Which value represents the slope of the line that has an x-intercept at (-4,0) and a y-intercept at (0, -12) in the coordinate plane?

1.-3
2.-1/3
3.1/3
4.3

Answer 1

To find the gradient you do change in y/change in x so...

-12 - 0
————- = -12/4 = -3
0 - - 4

Hope this helps! Any questions let me know :)
