Question

Find the slope (rate of change) of each representation. Please explain how you got it.

Answer 1

m = -3/2

Explanation:

To find the slope of the representation, use the slope formula:
`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

I'll pick (-4, 9) and (-2, 6) in this instance.

`m=(9-6)/(-4-(-2))\\\\m=-(3)/(2)`

Therefore, the slope of the representation is -3/2.

Answer 2

-3/2

Explanation:

To find the slope, we can use the formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( -6 -9)/(6 - -4)

= (-6-9)/(6+4)

-15/10

-3/2
