Question

What is the slope of the graph? (Example: 2/3, -4,-2/9)

Answer 1

`-(1)/(4)` or
`-1/4`

Explanation:

Take two points (I'm guessing each square is a unit)

`(-4,0)(0,-1)`

Use the slope formula for when you have two points:

`(y(2)-y(1))/(x(2)-x(1)) =(rise)/(run)`

Rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis. Insert values:

`(-1-0)/(0-(-4))`

Simplify parentheses

`(-1-0)/(0+4)`

Simplify

`(-1)/(4)\\ \\-(1)/(4)`

Done.
