Question

What is THE slope on the graph ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is:  4/5      

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the graph, find 2 points on the line.

In this case they are (5, 1) and (0, -3)

Using the slope formula:

(y2 - y1)   /  (x2 - x 1)

We get  -4 / -5    which is equal to 4/5

Answer 2

Answer:

$m=\frac{4}{5}$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Alg

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Alg I

• Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify points from the graph.

Point (5, 1)

Point (0, -3)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:                    $m=\frac{-3-1}{0-5}$
2. Subtract:                       $m=\frac{-4}{-5}$
3. Simplify:                        $m=\frac{4}{5}$
