Question

Determine the slope by using the slope formula and add two points on the line check your answer by drawing a right triangle and labeling the rise and run right numbers in simplest form select undefined if Applicable

Answer 1

The slope is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope can be calculated as

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of two points in the line.

Replacing (x1, y1) by ( 0, -1) and (x2, y2) by (1, -3), we get:

`m=(-3-(-1))/(1-0)=(-3+1)/(1)=(-2)/(1)=-2`

Now, we can check the answer using the following drawing

Since rise over run is also equal to 2/(-1) = -2. We can say that the slope is -2.
