Slope is defined simply as delta y over delta x or the change in y over the change of x. We need to decided what points is going to be the start or the end. Typically, the point farther to the right of the graph is considered the end point.

Start: (1, 7)

End: (10, 1)

$m = \frac{1 - 7}{10 - 1} \\\\\\m = \frac{-6}{9} \\\\\\m = \frac{-2}{3}$

How do I graph the equation? <br>y-5= -4(x -1)<br>(Also in the photo)

Kisachek [45]

Well if your finding the slope and y intercept
Slope is -4
Y-int is (0,9)
So you would make the. -4 into -4/1 the you would plot (0,9) on the graph first then on the Y line go down 4 and move to the right 1
( I’m not sure if this helps)
