1 answer:
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 29) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 28) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table
m = = -
The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 28 ) ⇒ c = 28
y = - x + 28 ← equation of line → D

Answer:
slope = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
In the attachment, we have shown rise and run as 3 units each. The segments could be drawn 1 unit long. In any event, the ratio is the slope:
slope = rise/run = 3/3
slope = 1
_____
It is most convenient to draw the rise and run segments from/to places where the line crosses grid intersections. Often, but not always, the y-intercept will be such a point. Then you can look for the nearest grid crossing for figuring rise and run.
Here, the y-intercept is (0, 1), and the closest grid crossing to the right is (1, 2). The rise is 2-1 = 1, and the run is 1-0 = 1. The ratio is 1/1 = 1, same as above. The ratio of rise to run will be the same everywhere for a straight line.
