Question

Find the slope of each line

Answer 1

The equation of the slope of a line is given by the formula:

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

The coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates that we need to identify in the graph:

(x1, y1) = (-4, 4)

(x2, y2) = (0, -3)

Then, applying the formula to find m:

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}=\frac{-3-4}{0-(-4)}=\frac{-7}{4}\rightarrow m=-\frac{7}{4}$

Therefore, the slope for the line is m = -7/4.
