Answer:

Explanation:

Slope is the rise (y) over the run (x) between 2 points on a graph. This means that from one point go up (or down) first, then count over from that first point right (or left). A positive number on top indicates "up" and a negative number on top indicates "down"; a positive number on bottom indicates "right" while a negative number on bottom indicates "left". Keep in mind the following:


(-y)/(x) =(y)/(-x) =-(y)/(x)

It doesn't matter where you "put" the negative, your slope will come out correct as long as you are moving from one point to the other correctly.

Our given slope is 4/5. They are both positive, so that means from the red point on the left ("read" a graph from left to right, just like you're reading this) we will go up 4 units. From where we "land" we will go right 5 units. As you can see, the only graph that lands on the red dot on the right when we follow that slope is the second one.
