Answer 1

Answer:

$Slope (m) = -\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line of the graph, pick any 2 points on the line as your coordinate pairs.

Thus, on the line, let's pick 2 points as our coordinate pairs at:

When x = -6, y = 5 => (-6, 5), and

When x = 3, y = -1 => (3, -1)

Let (-6, 5) be (x1, y1), and (3, -1) be (x2, y2)

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

$Slope (m) = \frac{-1 - 5}{3 - (-6)}$

$Slope (m) = \frac{-1 - 5}{3 + 6}$

$Slope (m) = \frac{-6}{9}$

$Slope (m) = -\frac{2}{3}$
