Answer: -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two methods to find the slope
METHOD 1. Rise/Run
Rise: the y-axis value
Run: the x-axis value
In the graph, rise/run=3/2
The line is going down, so it should be negative
-3/2
Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:
The answers are that a = -5 and b = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find A and B, we first need to find the equation of the line. We can do this by using two ordered pairs and the slope formula. For the purpose of this activity, I'l use (0, 5) and (-3, 11)
m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (11 - 5)/(-3 - 0)
m = 6/-3
m = -2
Now that we have this we can model this using point-slope form.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 5 = -2(x - 0)
y - 5 = -2x
y = -2x + 5
Now that we have the modeled equation we can use the ordered pair (a, 15) to solve for a.
y = -2x + 5
15 = -2(a) + 5
10 = -2a
-5 = a
And we can also solve for b using the ordered pair (2, b)
y = -2x + 5
b = -2(2) + 5
b = -4 + 5
b = 1
Help with what? I am not sure what other question you asked that you need help on. What is the question?
75/25 = 3
3x25 = 75
