Find the slope of the line graphed below?

Answer 1

Answer:

You can solve this two ways:

Part 1: If you are doing slope, your answer would be 5/3 from point (0, -3) to point (0, 5) by going 5 units up and 3 units over.

Part 2: You can find it by using the formula (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).

(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

(5 - 0)/(0 - 3) = 5/3

You will still get the exact same answer no matter which way you do it.

Hope this helps you! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

5/3

2. -3

3. 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = rise / run

If we start from where the line crosses the y axis  (at y = 5)  we count down 5 units till we get to the 0 . Then we count 3 to the left from there (to where the line crosses the axis)  we have

5 / 3   = required slope.

2. slope = -3/1 = -3

3. slope = 2/3
