Question

What is the slope of the line? Write your answer in decimal format

Answer 1

-1.25 is the answer in decimal form

Answer 2

-1.25

Explanation:

To find the slope you must use 2 points. For this graph, two points that work are (0,5) and (4,0). Then find the rise over run, which is the change in y over the change in x. Do this by using the slope formula,
`(y_(2) - y_(1) )/(x_(2)- x_(1) )`. Once plugged in this should simplify to -5/4. In decimal form, this equals -1.25.
