Question

Find the slope of the line.

Answer 1

-4/7

Explanation:

taking the 2 points and counting the distance on the x and y axis, we get -4 on the y axis and 7 on the x axis. To clear up confusion you hay have, with slopes, the fraction isnt written as x/y, instead y/x.

Answer 2

-7/4
Because where the next point meets is 7 across and 4 down. And since the line is going down then the slope is negative
When Determining positive and negative I like to think of it like I’m writing my name on the line, if my name goes down the line then it’s negative, but if my name is going up then it’s positive.
I hope this helps
