Question

Find the slope of the line graphed below.

Answer 1

-7/3

Explanation:

Slope formula:

`(y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1))`

The two points on the graph are (1,3) and (4,-4).

Substitute into the formula:

`(-4 - 3)/(4 - 1)`

Simplify:

`(-4 - 3)/(4 - 1) = (-7)/(3)`

Answer 2

—7/3

Explanation:

1) Choose two points on it.

like (1,3) and (4,—4)

2) slope is

`slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (3 + 4)/(1 - 4) = (7)/( - 3) = - (7)/(3)`
