D ) 4/3

Not work shown please

Answer 1

-4/3 (Answer A)

Explanation:

Here we go from the point (-3, 3) on the left to the point (0, -1) on the right. It is immediately apparent that x (the run) increases by 3 from -3 to 0 and that y (the rise) decreases by 4 from 3 to -1. Thus, the slope of this line (which is also the rate of change) is

m = rise / run = -4/3 (Answer A)
