Answer: D) 3/4

===========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's pick two points from this line. I'll pick on (0,-3) and (4,0). These are the y and x intercepts in that order.

Apply the slope formula to these points. Keep in mind that, when it comes to subtraction, the order matters.


m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\m = (0-(-3))/(4-0)\\\\m = (0+3)/(4-0)\\\\m = \boldsymbol{(3)/(4)}\\\\

The slope is 3/4

This says that to move from (0,-3) to (4,0), we'll go up 3 and to the right 4.

Slope = rise/run = 3/4

rise = 3, run = 4

The slope is positive because we move uphill when moving to the right.

Answer:3/4

Step-by-step explanation: use rise/run

start at y= -3 it rises 3 units to x=0, and then it runs 4 units to x=4, hence 3/4
