Question

Find The Slope Of The Line

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 1) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{1-4}{2-1}$ = $\frac{-3}{1}$ = - 3 → A

Answer 2

Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope you have to find the rise over run. Start at the first point then  go down 3 and over to the right 1. Your slope is -1/3.
