Question

What is the slope of the following graph? M=

Answer 1

-2/3

Explanation:

Two points are given on the graph:

(0, 3) and (3, 1)

Use slope formula.

m = rise/run

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

x₁ = 0

y₁ = 3

x₂ = 3

y₂ = 1

m = (1 - 3)/(3 - 0)

m = -2/3

The slope of the line is -2/3.

Answer 2

-2/3

Explanation:

We have two points ( 0,3) and ( 3,1)

We can use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (1-3) /(3-0)

= -2/3
