What is the slope of the line?

Mathematics

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you look at which way it is going. From left to right, the line is going down, so the slope is negative. Change in y is 3 and change in x is 1. From any two points on the line, the y value changes by 3 every time the x value changes by 1.

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = rise/run

rise = vertical distance

run = horizontal distance

Step 1. Find two easy to read points on the line. Use points on intersections of grid lines.

For example, choose points (0, -3) and (-1, 0).

Step 2. Start at one point, say (0, -3). We must go to the other point using only vertical and horizontal moves. Go up 3 units. That is a rise of +3. It's positive 3 since up is positive. Now go left 1 unit. That is a run of -1. It is negative because going left is negative.

Step 3.

slope = rise/run

slope = 3/(-1) = -3

Answer: slope = -3

Write the equation of a line perpendicular to 5x−9y=−8 that passes through the point ​(−5​,8​).
Fantom [35]

Answer:  y = -(9/5)x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation in standard form:  y = (5/9)x+(8/9).  [y=mx+b]

A line perpendicular to this would have a slope that is the negative inverse of the original slope (5/9), which would make it -(9/5).  The y-intercept would also change, but we don't know the value, yet.  For now, we'll use "b" for the y-intercept.  This results in a perpendicular line:

y = -(9/5)x + b

We can calculate b, the y-intercept, by using the point (-5,8) and solving for b.

8 = -(9/5)*(-5) + b

8 = (9) + b

b = -1

The line perpendicular to 5x−9y=−8 that passes through the point ​(−5​,8​) is

y = -(9/5)x - 1
