Actually in response to the other person’s answer, the answer would be a negative number since the slope is falling and not rising. 3 is right though so
-3
If you don’t understand rise over run, rise is vertical so going up or down and run is horizontal going left or right. Choose two random points that have both x and y as whole numbers. From the most left point going to the most right point, count the whole numbers in between to get to the right point.
Ex: (0,3) & (1,0). Vertically * going | , which is basically the y* 3 to 0 is subtracting 3 so -3 will be the numerator. Horizontally * going _ , which is the x) 0 going to 1 is adding 1 so 1 will be the denominator. -3/1 is -3
Another way to find slope is take two points and do y2-y1/x2-x1 Where you plug in the (x,y)
Ex: (0,3) & (1,0) 0-3/1-0 = -3/1 = -3
