What is the slope of the line shown on the graph?
A)
-1
B)
0
1
D
undefined

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 5, 5) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(5-0)/(-5-0)` =
`(5)/(-5)` = - 1 → A
