Question

Help with finding the slope

Answer 1

Answer:
`m= (2)/(5)` or
`m=0.4`

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

(1,1) = (x2,y2)

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

=
`(1-(-1))/(1-(-4))`

=
`(1+1)/(1+4)`

=
`(2)/(5)`

or

=
`0.4`

Answer 2

`m=(2)/(5)` or
`m=0.40`

Explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

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

take two points from the graph

(-4,-1) and (1,1)

substitute in the formula

`m=(1+1)/(1+4)`

`m=(2)/(5)` ----> fraction form

or

`m=0.40` ----> decimal form
