Question

#3:Find the slope of the line below

Answer 1

Answer:
-5/2

Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for slope is rise/run. If you start at the point (1, -2), you can go up 5 and left 2 to get to the other point.
Since the line goes downwards, the slope must be a negative. This leaves you with -5/2.
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

-5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

with slope always remember rise over run, vertically, the dots are 5 points away from each other so that is your rise. Horizontally they are only 2 away so that's your run. the answer is negative because the slope goes down to the right. If it went up to the right then the slope would be positive.
