Question

Which of the following is the slope of the line below? A.3, B.-3, C.1/3, D. -1/3 I know it’s not C cause my teacher told me.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. slope =  -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two points on the graph: (-4, 3) (-5, 6)

Let (x1, y1) = (-4, 3)

(x2, y2) =  (-5, 6)

Plug these values into the slope formula:

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} = \frac{6 - 3}{- 5 - (-4)} = \frac{3}{ - 5 + 4} = \frac{3}{-1} = -3$

Therefore, the slope of the line is -3.

Thus, the correct answer is B: -3.
