Answer:

Below

Explanation:

There are several formulae for slope:

  1. The Slope Formula
  2. Rise / Run
  3. Change

The slope formula:


\sf{m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)}

Are you given two points? If so, plug them in the formula!

Rise/Run:


\sf{m=(Rise)/(Run)}

An easy way to compute the slope when you have a graph. If you know the rise (how many units the line goes up/down) and the run (how many units the line goes right/left), you can compute the slope using this easy formula.

Change:


\sf{m=(change~in~x)/(change~in~y)}

Divide the change in x by the change in y.


\rule{350}{5}

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

the slope formula is

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

where (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) are points on the line
