Question

What is this graphs slope?

Answer 1

slope = -4

Explanation:

Given the following points on the graph: (-1, 4) (1, -4)

Let (x1, y1) = (-1, 4)

(x2, y2) = (1, -4)

Use the following slope formula:

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

`m = (-4 - 4)/(1 - (-1)) = (-8)/(1 + 1) = (-8)/(2) = -4`

Therefore, the slope of the line is -4
