Question

(5.01) What is the slope of the line shown in the graph?

a. - 3/2
b. - 1/2
c. 3/2
d. underfined

Answer 1

-3 / 2

Explanation:

We measure a line's slope by doing rise over run. (rise/run)

To get from point A to point B, you have to go down 3, so the rise is -3.

You also need to go across 2, so the run is 2. Hence, -3/2
