Question

Can someone help me ASAP!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope= -7

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to use the rise/run method.

Take the point at (1,-2) and count up to (1, 7). Then because it is going left, you count your run over 3 points. Or you could do.

$\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} = slope$

Answer 2

Answer:

-The slope of the following graph:

$m = 3$ or $m = -3$

Step-by-step explanation:

-To find the slope you need this:

$m = \frac{rise}{run}$

-So, according to graph the it shows that there are two point (1,-2) and (-2,7). To start from the first point to the second point, you need to count how far up or down (vertical) and how left or right (horizontal):

Rise: 9

Run: 3

or

Rise: 9

Run: -3

After you have the rise and the run, you need to solve the equation in order to get the slope:

$m = \frac{9}{3}$  or  $m =\frac{9}{-3}$

$m = 3$ or $m = -3$

So, therefore the slope of the following graph is $m = 3$ or $m = -3$.
