Question

Find the slope of the line graphed below.

Answer 1

-3/4

Explanation:

We can see that we have 2 points already marked, (-2,-1) and (2, -4).

To find the slope, it's:

`(rise)/(run)` with rise being the units up/down, and run being the units left/right.

Start at point (-2, -1), and count the units going down (in red), and the units going to the right (in yellow), until we come across point (2,-4). We can see that we go down 3 units, and to the right 4 units, giving us a fraction of -3/4.

So, the slope is
`(-3)/(4)`.

Hope this helps! :)

edit: let me know if you want the point-slope formula + explanation on this too
