Question

Which describes the slope of this line?

Number graph ranging from negative five to five on the x and y axes. A line is drawn on the graph that passes through (zero, negative three) and (two, one).



negative slope

positive slope

undefined slope

zero slope

Answer 1

I take the points that you gave. Let named A(0,-3) and B(2,1)

The slope coefficient is S= (yb-ya)/(xb-xa)

S= (1-(-3))/(2-0) => S= (1+3)/2 = 4/2= +2 => S= +2

The correct answer is positive slope
Good luck!!!
