Question

What is the slope of the line shown in the graph?

A coordinate plane is shown. Points are graphed at negative 3 comma 2 and negative 1 comma negative 1. The points are connected by a line.

−3 over 2
−1 over 2
3 over 2
Undefined

Answer 1

Slope is -1/2 hope so that it's corrected

Answer 2

Answer: −3 over 2

Explanation:

Formula to find the slope of a line that passing through two points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

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

The given points are : (-3, 2) and (-1,-1)

Then, the slope of the line passing through theses points =
`(-1-2)/(-1-(-3))`

`=(-3)/(-1+3)` [∵ (-)(-) = (+)]

`=(-3)/(2)`

Hence, the slope of the line shown in the graph
`=(-3)/(2)`

Hence, the correct answer is −3 over 2.
