Question

Find the slope of the line graphed below.

Answer 1

-2

Explanation:

The line appears to cross through (2,3) and (4,-1)

You can subtract the x values and y values to determine the difference:

`2 - 4= - 2 \\ 3 - ( - 1) = 4`

These can be used as the y and x values in y over x to find the slope:

`(4)/( - 2) = - 2`

The slope is -2
