Question

What is the slope of the line shown below?

Answer 1

`m=-(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

Taking any two points on the line to find the slope

• (6, -3)

• (-6, 5)

Let us find the slope between the two points we took from the line graph

`\mathrm{Slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(6,\:-3\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-6,\:5\right)`

`m=(5-\left(-3\right))/(-6-6)`

`m=-(2)/(3)`
