Question

PLEASE HELP IM SERIOUSLY STUCK

Answer 1

-4

Explanation:

The formula to find the slope is (change in y)/(change in x). In other words, rise over run.

If we look at the data, we can see that the x and y value changes.

x value: -3 --> -2 --> -1 --> 0 --> 1

y value: 12 --> 8 --> 4 --> 0 --> -4

When y changed from 12 to 8, the x changed from -3 to -2.

y: 12 --> 8

x: -3 --> -2

There was a difference of -4 in the y and a difference of 1 in the x.

At the top, I wrote that the slope was (change in y)/(change in x)

With -4 and 1 we found, we can say that the slope is -4/1.

If we simplify this answer, we end up with -4.

So -4 is the slope of the data.

Answer 2

Formula for the Slope: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

You can use any two points to find the slope, as long as those two points are on the line.

Point 1 = (-2, 8)

Point 2 = (0, 0)

Slope = (0 - 8) / (0 - - 2)

Slope = -8 / 2

Slope = -4

Hope this helps!
