Answer:

  • AB: -3
  • BC: 2/3
  • AC: -1/4

Explanation:

The slope of a given segment is the ratio rise/run. The "rise" is the number of vertical divisions between the points. The "run" is the number of horizontal divisions between the points. The "run" is positive left-to-right. The corresponding "rise" is positive up.

Here are the segment slopes (rise/run).

AB = -3/1 = -3

BC = 2/3

AC = -1/4
