Question

What is the apparent slope of the line graphed below?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. -2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the "rise over run method"

Do this by finding two points on the graph, then finding the distance between the two points. First find the vertical distance, then the horizontal. The direction represents whether the slope will be negative or positive. When it goes up, it'll be positive, down=negative. Right=positive, left=negative. Two negatives make a positive, but one positive and one negative make a negative.
