I can't be entirely sure what you want to "do" about the slope,
but here is how to FIND it if you have the line on the graph:
-- You pick two points on the graph line.
-- Find the difference in 'y' between the two points.
-- Find the difference in 'x' between the two points.
-- The slope of the line between the two points is
(the difference in 'y')
divided by
(the difference in 'x') .
-- If the line on the graph is a straight line, then
the slope is the same everywhere on it.
the answer to your question is C
To find the slope, you use the slope formula (m):
and plug in the two points
(-3, 4) = (x₁, y₁)
(2, -1) = (x₂, y₂)
[two negatives cancel each other out and become positive]
m = -1 The slope is -1
23/4
Step by step:
5/1 + 3/4
5/1 • 4 = 20/4
20+3/4
23/4
