Answer:
C. -3
Explanation:
You can do this using two different methods.
First, slope is written rise over run, or y over x. We can find two points and count how much we need to rise and run. The graph already includes the points (2,-3) and (-1, 6), which we will use. If you carefully look at the graph, you can see that if you start from the point (2,-3), you can rise 9 and run -3 to get to the point (-1, 6), which brings me to the next step. As I stated in the beginning, slope is written rise over run. Therefore, the slope is 9/-3, which simplifies to -3, answer choice C.
Another way you can do this is subtracting the y's and subtracting the x's in the same order. The y's go over the x's, and is basically written as a fraction. For this method, we still need two points. We will use the same points as above and listed on the graph, points (2,-3) and (-1, 6). The y's are -3 and 6, and the x's are 2 and -1. Now, subtract.
-3-6 =-9=-3
2-(-1)= 3
As you can tell, both methods of solving for slope worked, and the answer is choice C.
I hope this helps!! Have a great day, and thanks for the points (^人^)
