Question

NEED ASAP ---- 25 POINTS---NO LINKS

What is the slope of the line in both of the graphs?

Answer 1

-10

Explanation:

First, we need to find the slope, defined by m, using the equation

`m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

First, we must choose points. I will choose (2, 165) as point 1 and (1, 175) as point two, so:

x1= 1

y1= 165

x2= 2

y2= 175

Now, let's plug it in.

`m = (175 - 165)/(1 - 2) = (10)/( - 1) = - 10`

For the next one, we follow the same process.

Point 1: (3, 165)

Point 2: (2, 175)

`m = (175 - 165)/(2 - 3) = (10)/( - 1) = - 10`
