Question

What is the slope of the graphed line? PLEASE HELP!

A.-5/4
B.5/4
C.-4/5
D.4/5

Answer 1

It should be -4/5.

Explanation:

if you take two points that are obvious, like the two intercepts, you can then use the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and plug in the points.

y intercept = (0,2)

x intercept = (2.5, 0)

(0-2)/(2.5-0)= -2/2.5 = -0.8 = -4/5

Answer 2

C.) -4/5

Explanation:

First find two points where the line directly meets points on the map, I used (0,2) and (5,-2).You start with rise-over-run, because this has a negative rise is -4 (numerator). The run is 5 (denominator). so -4/5
