Question

The line graphed below passes through the points (-5, 0) and (0, -4). Use the slope formula to calculate the slope between the given points. Verify the slope by counting the rise over the run on the graph.

-2/3
-4/5
-4/6
-5/4

Answer 1

Slope is -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

• Step 1: Given points are (-5,0) and (0,-4). Find the slope using the formula m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) Here, x1 = -5, x2 = 0, y1 = 0 and y2 = -4

⇒ m = (-4 - 0)/(0 - -5) = -4/5

Answer 2

Answer:

- 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

$slope=\dfrac{rise}{run}\\\\rise=-4\\\\run=5\\\\slope=\dfrac{-4}{5}=-\dfrac{4}{5}$
