Answer 1

Slope of a Linear Equation

We can use the slope equation to help us do this:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

• 
  `(x_1,y_1)` and
  `(x_2,y_2)` are two points that fall on the line

Solving the Question

⇒ First, pick two clear points that falls on the given graph:

(0,2), (4,-3)

⇒ Plug these into the equation and solve:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\m=(-3-2)/(4-0)\\\\m=(-5)/(4)`

Answer

B) -5/4
