Question

What is the slope of the linear relationship shown on the graph?

A. negative two thirds
B. two thirds
C. negative three halves
D. three halves

Answer 1

C. negative three halves

Explanation:

Use two points on the line and slope equation to find the slope.

Let the points be (- 4, 4) and (-2, 1).

Then the slope is:

• m = (1 - 4)/(-2 - (-4)) = - 3/(-2 + 4) = - 3 / 2

This is same as option C.
