Question

What is the slope of the graph? slope = -1/3 slope = -3 slope = 3 slope = 1/3

Answer 1

To find the slope of the line, first start with a point on the graph.

Let's use the point (0,3) which we call point A.

The other point we will call point B.

Now remember that slope can be found using the ratio rise/run

between any two points that are on that line.

To get from point A to point B along this line, we must

first go down 3 units so we say that our rise is -3.

From there we move 1 unit to the right so our run is 1.

So our slope or rise/run is -3/1 which reduces to -3.

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is so because the line in pointing down, leading to the fact that the slope is negative, and rise over run is 3/1......

Therefore, the slope of the line is -3
