Question

What is the slope of this line?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of the line is expressed as the ratio

y coordinate change / x coordinate change

when going from one point to the other.

the trick in such a situation is to find good points on the chart that are crossed by the line. and by "good" I mean points with round integer coordinates.

I see 2 such points :

(-2, 3) and (0, -3)

x changes by +2 (from -2 to 0)

y changes by -6 (from 3 to -3)

the slope is -6/+2 = -6/2 = -3
