Question

Find the slope of the line.

Answer 1

The equation for working out the slope of a linear line is: $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$, where x and y are the coordinate pairs.

So just pick two of the purple dots on the graph and fill in the equation.

I'll pick the dot that's (-4, 1) and (4, -7).

Now I just do $\frac{7 - 1}{4 - -4}$, which is just $\frac{3}{4}$ when simplified.
