Question

Find the slope of the graphed line below.

Answer 1

`(7)/(2)`

Explanation:

To find the slope, you can either count the rise over run, or you can take the 2 points given and use the formula:
`m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

By counting the rise over run, you get
`(7)/(2)`.

By using the formula: Points - (-2, 3) and (-4,-4)

`m = (-4-3)/(-4+2)`

`m = (-7)/(-2)` →
`m=(7)/(2)`

So by using both methods, we can determine and confirm that the slope of the graphed line is
`(7)/(2)`.
