Question

What is the slope of this graph?

Answer 1

The slope is -3

Explanation:

The line crosses through the blue grid lines leaving gaps on each. Find two points which cross at an intersection such as (1,6) and (2,3). Find the slope by substituting these points into the slope formula:

`m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) = (3-6)/(2-1) =(-3)/(1) =-3`
