Question

15 points Find the slope of the line graphed below.

Answer 1

Slope of the given line is
`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

Since the two points of the line are (6,0) and (0, -4), Using the formula for the slope (m) of the line when two points (a,b) and (c,d) on the line are given,

m=
`(d-b)/(c-a)`

Thus, slope of given line is
`(-4-0)/(0-6)`=
`(-4)/(-6)`=
`(2)/(3)`
