Question

Help with finding the slope

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=\frac{2}{5}$  or  $m=0.40$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

take two points from the graph

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

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{1+1}{1+4}$

$m=\frac{2}{5}$ ----> fraction form

or

$m=0.40$ ----> decimal form

Answer 2

Answer: $m= \frac{2}{5}$ or $m=0.4$

(-4,-1) = (x1,y1)

(1,1) = (x2,y2)

Slope=$\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

         = $\frac{1-(-1)}{1-(-4)}$

         = $\frac{1+1}{1+4}$

         = $\frac{2}{5}$

or

         = $0.4$
