C. $-\frac{3}{4}$

D. $\frac{4}{3}$

Answer 1

Answer:

C. -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You could identify two points and used the slope formula given two points.

OR

You can just count from one point to another.

First step: Identify two points where the line crosses nicely.

I see one at the y-intercept (0,1) and another at (4,-2). So starting at the y-intercept, how much do we need to travel down to get to (4,-2).  Hopefully you say down 3, so the rise is -3.  Now how much to the right after traveling down 3 from (0,1) to we need to travel to get to (4,-2) .  Count the spaces...4 units right so the run is 4.

The slope is -3/4
