Question

Find the slope of each line​

Answer 1

Answer: The slope is -5/4.

Step-by-step explanation: The slope of a line refers to its direction and steepness. The slope can be expressed as a fraction that is commonly refered to as rise over run. In order to find the slope of a line, you need to find two coordinates on the line and use the "rise over run" method. The numerator (rise) is how many units up or down while the denominator (run) is how many units left or right. There are two given points on this specific line. To get from one to the other, you must go down 5 units and to the right 4 units; therefore, the slope, or rise over run, is -5/4.

Answer 2

Rise over run

5 up over 4 left

-5/4 is your slope
