Question

Help wanted! Im I’m desperate need of assistance!

Answer 1

-2/5

Explanation:

Hi there!

We find slope by using rise over run.

For this problem, identify two points on the line. I'll use (0, 3) and (5, 1).

`m = \frac{{y} - {y} }{ {x} - {x}}`

You can plug the coordinates into this formula, making sure they stay in the right order. Subtract the first y coordinate from the second y coordinate, and the first x coordinate from the second x coordinate. (Just make sure one point is on the left, and the other on the right).

`(3 - 1)/(0 - 5) = (2)/( - 5)`

2/-5 is the same as -2/5, so that is your answer
