Question

Calculate the slope of the line for Graph B.

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You are provided with two points on the line (-5, 7) and (1,1).

$Slope = \frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2} -x_{1}}$

$Slope = \frac{7-1}{-5-1} =\frac{6}{-6} =-1$

Answer 2

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

rise = -2

run = 2

Slope = rise / run

= -2/2 = -1

Since also the angle made by the line and x axis in anti clockwise direction is > 90° the slope will be-ve .
