Remember the equation for slope is y=mx+b {m=slope, and b=y-intercept.} {Slope= rise/run}
1.) y= 2x+0
2.) y= -3/4x+0.5

P.S.: hope I helped :)

For both questions, all you really have to do is choose 2 exact points on each graph, and use those to find the slope. Thankfully, it already has 2 plots on there for us, so all we have to do is plug in the values in the equation below :)

Slope equation : y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁

1) (1,2), (-2,-4)

-4 -2 / -2 -2

-6 / -4

Simplify.

The slope of number one is 3/2

2) (-2,2), (6,-4)

-4 -2 / 6 + 2

-6 / 8

Simplify.

The slope for question 2 is -3/4

~Hope I helped!~
