Answer:

3) m = -3/2

4) m = 3/2

5) m = 5/3

6) m = 7/3

7) m = -3

8) m = 7/3

Explanation:

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

3/ ( -4, 0) ( -2, -3)

The y decrease by 3, and the x increase by 2, so the slope is

m = -3/2

4/ (2,0) (0, -3)

The y decrease by 3, and the x decrease by 2, so the slope is

m = -3/-2 = 3/2

5/ (-1,2) (-4, -3)

The y decrease by 5, and the x decrease by 3, so the slope is

m = -5/-3 = 5/3

6/ (4,3) (1, -4)

The y decrease by 7, and the x decrease by 3, so the slope is

m = -7/-3 = 7/3

7/ (1,2) (3, -4)

The y decrease by 6, and the x increase by 2, so the slope is

m = -6/2 = -3

8/ (0,3) (-3, -4)

The y decrease by 7, and the x decrease by 3, so the slope is

m = -7/-3 = 7/3
