Question

PLEASE HELP 25 POINTS, state the slope

Answer 1

`\sf Slope =(-5)/(3)`

Explanation:

Finding the slope:

Pick two points from the graph.

(-1,3) & (2 , -2)

(-1 , 3) ⇒ x₁ = -1 & y₁ = 3

(2 , -2) ⇒ x₂ = 2 & y₂ = -2

`\boxed{\bf Slope =(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)}`

`\sf = (-2-3)/(2-[-1])\\\\\\=(-5)/(2+1)\\\\\\=(-5)/(3)`
