Question

Find the slope of the given line on the graph. REMEMBER: Rise over run!
Pls show work!

Answer 1

the slope is
`-(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

Notice that you are given two points to use for the slope calculation:

`(x_1,y_1)=(-4,4) \,\,and\,\, (x_2,y_2)=(5,1)`

So we use the formula for the slope of a line given two points:

`slope\,=\,(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\slope\,=\,(1-4)/(5-(-4)) \\slope\,=\,(-3)/(9) \\slope\,=\,-(1)/(3) \\`
