Question

What is the slope OF THE GRAPH, not what is A slope, what is THE slope

Answer 1

the slope of this graph is
`-\frac{3}1}`

Explanation:

You can find the slope by choosing any two ordered pairs in this case I choose (2,-4) and (-1,1). The you find the run and rise. Slope=
`(rise)/(run)`, the run was 3 up and the run was 1. And it is negative because it is going down to the right.

Answer 2

-3/1

Explanation:

The slope can be found by putting the rise over the run.

Pick 2 points on the graph that intercept the line.

I'll pick (0,2), and (1,-1)

Look at the rise.(How many places it goes up or down)

The rise vertical distance(rise), between the two points is -3.

Now look at the run(the horizontal distance.) It's 1.

Rise/Run = -3/1 AKA -3
