Question

Using the following image, find the slope of the line.

Answer 1

-3

Explanation:

To find slope you first need to pick to points where the line crosses a corner.

Slope=
`(Rise)/(Run)`

I'm using the points (0,-2) and (-1,1). You can either count up and over for the slope or use the slope equation

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

y2=second y point

y1=first y point

x2=second x point

x1=first x point

`(1-(-2))/(-1-0)` Now you just solve

`(3)/(-1)` or -3
