Answer:
[tex]m=-\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First, look at the graph and pick out two points that we can use for the slope equation. I see (0,2) and (-2,5) as two possibilities. Now, we just plug them into the slope equation. Remember that the slope equation is
[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
(the '2' and '1' are subscripts, not exponents)
Let's call our first point (0,2) x1 and y1. (-2,5) can be the second point.
If we plug this into the equation:
[tex]m=\frac{5-2}{-2-0}[/tex]
Now we just simplify and get
[tex]m=\frac{3}{-2}[/tex]
Our slope is [tex]-\frac{3}{2}[/tex].
I hope this helps!
