Question

What is the slope below?

Answer 1

-1.25

Explanation:

5/-4=-1.25

Answer 2

-1.25

Explanation:

-5/4

notice the two dotted points

in order to find slope, do RISE/RUN

in order for the two dotted points to meet, you must go UP 5 and ACROSS 4

rise = up

run = across

next, you need to solve the slope

do -5/4

-5/4 = -1.25

your answer is -1.25
