Question

The graph shown below represents a ladder leaning against wall the bottom of the latter is 4 feet from the wall in the top of the ladder reach is 20 feet above the ground what is the slope of graph (I’m so sorry I don’t have a picture)

Answer 1

Answer:

C.) -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is rise/run, in other words, rise divided by run or the y variable divided by the corresponding x variable.

In this question, we are told that the y-value is "20 feet above" meaning this is the rise and the run is "4 feet from"

To find the slope all we have to do is divide 20 by 4 giving us 5. Since the ladder is going down we know that we have to place a negative sign before the slope giving us our final answer of -5
