Question

Which number best represents the slope of the graphed line?

Answer 1

A. -5 i think it is the right answer

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, (A) -5

Step-by-step explanation :

The general form for the formation of a linear equation is:

$(y-y_1)=m\times (x-x_1)$

where,

x and y are the coordinates of x-axis and y-axis respectively.

m is slope of line.

Now we have to calculate the slope of line.

Formula used :

$m=\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}$

Here,

$(x_1,y_1)=(0,2)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(1,-3)$      (from the graph)

$m=\frac{(-3-2)}{(1-0)}$

$m=\frac{-5}{1}$

m = -5

Therefore, the slope of line is, -5
