Question

What is the slope of this graph

4

-1/4

1/4

-4

Answer 1

-4

Explanation:

From (-1,1) to (0,-3) is a fall of 4 and a run of 1

therefore rise over run = -4/1 = -4

Slope Formula

`slope = m = (rise)/(run)=(change~in~y)/(change~in~x) = (y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1)) =` -4

Hope this helps,
