The slope of the linear function shown is of -1/3.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function, in slope-intercept formula, is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
Given two points of a line, the slope is given by <u>change in y divided by change in x</u>.
In this problem, the line goes through points (-3,0) and (0,-1), hence the slope is given by:
m = (0 - (-1))/(-3 - 0) = 1/-3 = -1/3.
