Question

Find the slope of the line.

Answer 1

Your slope would be -1/4x. If you look at the y-intercept on your graph, which is -2, you would start to count up one box and over 4 boxes to the left. We call this rise/run. So knowing what the slope is now, your entire equation would be            y= -1/4x - 2. (Also, if the line is going up towards the left it is a negative slope, if it's to the right it is positive.) I hope this helps love! :) 

Answer 2

We can use the points (-4, -1) and (0, -2) to solve.

Formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

= -2-(-1)/0-(-4)

= -1/4

Best of Luck!
