HELP ASAP 40 POINTS!!!
Find the slope of the line
A.3
B.-2
C.-3
D.-4

Answer 1

the answer is b. -2
rise is -2
run is 1
-2/1=-2

Answer 2

-2

Explanation:

The slope of a line can be found using the formula m =
`(y_2 -y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`, where m is the slope and
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)` are two points on the line.

From the graph we can see that (-2,1) and (0,-3) are two points on the line, so let's sub these values into our formula to find the slope:

m =
`(y_2 -y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

m =
`(1-(-3))/(-2-0)`=
`(4)/(-2)`=-2
