Question

Use rise over run to determine the slope of the graph shown on the grid

Answer 1

(a)

The general equation of slop is;

`(Rise)/(run)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

From the given graph;

`\begin{gathered} (Rise)/(run)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ (Rise)/(run)=(3-5)/(4-0) \\ (Rise)/(run)=(-2)/(4) \\ (Rise)/(run)=(-1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

The rise = -1 and run = 2

Rise/run = -1/2
