Question

What is the slope of the line shown in the graph? A 3/2 B) 2/3 C) -3/4 D) -2/3

Answer 1

D. -2/3 because when you find when the line lies on 1 point twice. Count down it would be 2 and count over it would be 3. The direction of the line is going down so that would be negative.

Answer 2

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

y-intercept is (0, 3)

x-intercept is (4.5, 0)

formula to find the slope from two points is

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

then the slope of the line that crosses (0, 3) & (4.5, 0) is

$m = \frac{3 - 0}{0 - 4.5} = \frac{3}{ - 4.5} = - \frac{3}{ \frac{9}{2} } = - \frac{2}{3}$
