Question

Find the slope of the line graphed below.

Answer 1

-5

Explanation:

[] Slope can be solved by using rise over run when we have two points on a graph.

-> Starting at (0, 4) we will count down 5 units down to (0, -1)

-> Then, we will count one unit to the right to our second point, (1, -1)

[] We counted down 5, so -5 in the numerator, and we counted one to the right, so +1 in the denominator.

->
`(-5)/(1)` which can be written as -5

[] Slope can also be calculated mathematically with change in y divided by change in x

->
`(y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )`
