Question

Find the slope of the Line Graph Below

Answer 1

Answer:

-5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find slope given two points you should you the equation (y_2-y_1)/x_2-x_1). So given the points (-1,1) and (1,-4) the equation should look like (-4-1/1+1). So the slope should be (-5/2) or down 5 and over 2 to the left.

Answer 2

Answer:

Slope = -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(-1, 1) (1, -4)

Y1 = -4

Y2 = 1

X1 = 1

X2 = -1

Slope = $\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}=\frac{-4-1}{1-(-1)}=-\frac{5}{2}$
