Question

Find the slope of the line.

Answer 1

`-(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

The line passes through the point (0,0) meaning it represents a proportional relationship. This means the line has no y intercept.

To find the slope, we can take two points on the line and either evaluate there differences (slope formula) or count it visually.

Because I am given a visual representation on the graph, I will count the slope manually. The line is also pointing to the left, meaning that it will be a negative slope. We can remember how to count slope visually by remembering this rule:

`m=(y)/(x)=(rise)/(run)`

Counting the slope, I get

`-(3)/(4)`
