Answer 1

C. -3/4

Explanation:

Answer:

-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You could identify two points and used the slope formula given two points.

OR

You can just count from one point to another.

First step: Identify two points where the line crosses nicely.

I see one at the y-intercept (0,1) and another at (4,-2). So starting at the y-intercept, how much do we need to travel down to get to (4,-2). Hopefully you say down 3, so the rise is -3. Now how much to the right after traveling down 3 from (0,1) to we need to travel to get to (4,-2) . Count the spaces...4 units right so the run is 4.

The slope is -3/4
