Answer:

The slope is 5/3

Explanation:

In order to find the slope from a graph, you have to use the method called "rise over run". You do this by looking at the point (0,-1). and going up on the y axis and counting until its on the SAME y axis for the next point which is at (3,4). If you count from -1 to 4, you'll get 5, which is the rise number. Next you have to solve the "run" number. Now that we already have our rise number start from (0,4) and count how many ticks/counts it takes to move the x axis to the point (3,4). It takes 3 counts. Since it's called rise/run. You put 5 at the top, and 3 at the bottom.


(5)/(3)

Hope this helps :)

(4-(-1)) / ( 3 - 0) = 5/3
