Question

Find the slope of each line

Answer 1

The equation of the slope of a line is given by the formula:

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

The coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates that we need to identify in the graph:

(x1, y1) = (-4, 4)

(x2, y2) = (0, -3)

Then, applying the formula to find m:

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(-3-4)/(0-(-4))=(-7)/(4)\rightarrow m=-(7)/(4)`

Therefore, the slope for the line is m = -7/4.
