Question

Find the slope of the line.

Answer 1

The slope:

$m=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$

Look at the picture.

6 units down → -6

2 units right → 2

$m=\dfrac{-6}{2}=-3$

Answer: Slope = m = -3

Answer 2

answer:  $\frac{3}{-1} x$

explanation:

slope-intercept formula ==> $y = mx + b$

$m$ is slope , and $b$ is y-intercept

to find the slope you need to start at the y intercept and go 3 units up and 1 unit left. and if you repeat it again, until you reach the top of the graph and that would make partial of the line.

so, the slope is $\frac{rise}{run}$, so if you plug it in it would look like this

$y = \frac{3}{-1} x + b$

A D D I T I O N A L  I N F O

then you find the y-intercept which would be where the line intersects at the y axis, which is -10. plug the number into the equation

$y = \frac{3}{-1} x - 10$

and that would make our final answer.

hope this helps! correct me if there is anything wrong ❤ from peachimin
