Question

What is the slope of this graph? 4 14 −14 −4

Answer 1

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of this graph is the gradient. As it is sloping downwards the gradient will be negative, so either -4 or -14.

The gradient can be found by using the equation gradient=rise/run

The line passes through (-2, 5) and (0,-3).

This means the run (x-direction) is  -2-0= -2   and the rise (y-direction)  is

5 - (-3) = 5+3 = 8

Therefore the gradient is equal to 8/-2 = -4
