Question

Find the slope of the line in the graph below

Answer 1

Answer =-3 or -3/1

You can either do rise/run
Or you can find two points on the line and do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Two points on the line are (-1,2) and (-3,-4)
X1=-1 Y1=2
X2=-3 Y2=-4

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (-4-2)/(-3-(-1)) =(-6)/(-3+1)
=-6/-2 = -3

So slope =-3/1 or -3 (same thing)
