Question

Find the slope of the line graphed below. 4. 3+ I - -G 4 5 -3 -4 5

Answer 1

Given data:

The first point on the line is (a, b)=(-1, -1).

The second point on the line is (c, d)= ( 4, -5).

The slope of the line is,

`m=(d-b)/(c-a)`

Substitute the given values in the above expression.

`\begin{gathered} m=(-5-(-1))/(4-(-1)) \\ =(-5+1)/(4+1) \\ =(-4)/(5) \\ =-(4)/(5) \end{gathered}`

Thus, the slope of the given line is -4/5.
