Question

What is the slope of the line in the graph?

Answer 1

(4,3)

Explanation:

Pick the 2 closest points that are perfectly on the line [(0,1) and (4,-2)]. Start at the first point (0,1) count to the right (From (0,1) to (4,1)) and that's our "x" number (4). Count down from that point (4,1) to the other predetermined point (4,-2) and you get your "y" number (3), thus (4,3)

Answer 2

(-4,4) (4,-2)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = ( -2-4)/(4-(-4))

m = -6/8

m = -3/4
