Enter your answer in the box.


I need a number answer please and thank you! Explanation would be helpful

Answer 1

The slope of the line on this graph would be -1/3.

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. You find slope by taking rise over run. In this case, the rise would be 2 and the run would be 6 (-2/6). You simplify the fraction to get -1/3. Since the line falls from left to right, the slope is negative. The slope-intercept form for this problem would be -1/3x+4.

Answer 2

I think it is -1/3

pick 2 points.

subtract y2 from y1

subtract x2 from x1
