Question

What is this graphs slope?

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following points on the graph: (-1, 4) (1, -4)

Let (x1, y1) = (-1, 4)

(x2, y2) =  (1, -4)

Use the following slope formula:

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

$m = \frac{-4 - 4}{1 - (-1)} = \frac{-8}{1 + 1} = \frac{-8}{2} = -4$

Therefore, the slope of the line is -4
