Question

What is the slope of the line ?

Answer 1

y = -3x + 4

Explanation:

y = 4, this is where your line intersects with the y axis.

x = 1 is where your line is on the x axis (you want to include the part of the line that hits a point straight on, not one that goes past it.) So when it lands on the corner of the grids like the 4 for the y axis does, that is the point you are going to use.

Rise/Run is then your equation, so since you go down 3 and over 1 (counting from your y axis point), your slope is -3/1 or -3.

Then goes your y axis, so the final equation is

y= -3x + 4

I hope this helped!
