Question

Find the slope of the following graphs

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation we use for slope is as follows:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

The graph gives us four points, but we only need two to solve our equation: (-2,5) and (2,1)

Now, we need to define which variable goes with which point:

Y2 = 1

X2 = 2

Y1 = 5

X1 = -2

If we plug these into our equation we get the following:

m = (1 - 5) / (2 - -2)

m = (-4) / (-4)

m = -1

Our slope for this graph = -1

I hope this helps!
