Question

What is the slope?

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

-5/4 or -1.25 is the slope

Explanation:

Slope (gradient) = rise/run or (y1 - y2/x1 - x2)

We will take the points so that we have a whole number:

Therefore the two points are:

(10,0) and (50, -30)

Now the gradient;

(y1 - y2/x1 - x2)

0 - 50/10 - (-30)

-50/40

-5/4

-1.25
