Question

What is the slope of this line?

Answer 1

Answer:

the slope of the line is -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line you can either use the formula y2-y2/x2-x1 and plugin 2 points on the line

so points (0,2) and (4,-1) would give you -1-2/4-0

simplified gives -3/4 for the slope.

The other way you could find the slope of the graph is to remember that slope is rise/run, this means that since your line is going down 3 numbers, the numerator (rise) would be -3, and it is going to the right 4 numbers, the denominator (run) would be 4. This would give you your slope of -3/4
