Question

Someone please help fasttt!!

Answer 1

3rd option

Explanation:

The line has the same slope over the whole line

Calculate slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = O (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (- 12, 3)

m =
`(3-0)/(-12-0)` =
`(3)/(-12)` = -
`(1)/(4)`

The slope is -
`(1)/(4)` throughout the line

Answer 2

the slope is -1/4 throughout the line.

Explanation:

the slope of a line never changes anywhere on the line. otherwise it would not be a line.

the slope is expressed by the ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes by a certain number of units.

and in this graphic, when x changes 4 units to the right (positive), y changes 1 unit down (negative).

therefore -1/4
