Question

Select the correct answer.Hurry! Which number best represents the slope of the graphed line?

Answer 1

From the graph;

We can observed two points that the line has passed through, which are;

`(0,2),(1,-3)`

Then, using these two points, we can get the slope m using the formula;

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \text{Where x}_1=0,y_1=2,x_2=1,y_2=-3 \end{gathered}`

Thus;

`\begin{gathered} m=(-3-2)/(1-0) \\ m=-(5)/(1) \\ m=-5 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the slope of the graph is -5.
