Question

Find the slope of the line. Write your answers in simplest form

Answer 1

-3/5

Explanation:

using the picture and the rise over run method, you can see that from the coordinate farthest to the right, you move 3 spaces up (positive), and 5 spaces to the left (negative), which gives you your answer of -3/5.

You can also use the formula to find the slope:

1) y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

2) -2-1/1-(-4)

3) -3/5
