Question

The slope is …
Find the slope
m = ___

Answer 1

The slope is negative

m = -4/5 or -0.8

Explanation:

y2-y1 = -1-3 = -4

x2-x1 = 5-0 = 5

Answer 2

m=-4/5

Explanation:

slope: rise/run

slope: y_1-y/x_1-x

(0,3) and (5,-1)

so...

3-(-1)/0-5

3+1/0-5

4/-5= -4/5

so the slope is -4/5, and it is negative.
