Question

HURRY PLEASE!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF RIGHT!!

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the line is 4

Answer 2

Answer:

m = Δy / Δx

m = (4 - 1) / (4 - 5)

m = 3 / -1

m = -3

(4,4)  (5,1)

Slope =   Change in Y            Change in X

4 - 1

4 - 5

equals 3/-1  or -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is often called "rise over run" because it is the increase in y-values divided by the increase in x-values.  It is also called grade/gradient, slant, incline, ramp, ...

A positive slope means that the line goes up as you move right on a graph.  A negative slope means that it goes down.  A zero slope means that it is horizontal (level).
