Question

Find the slope of the line on the graph. Write your answer as a fraction or a whole number or decimal

Answer 1

Given:

There are given the line to find the slope.

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line, we need to select two intersection points from the graph.

So,

The points are:

$(0,3),and,(2,0)$

Now,

From the formula of the slope:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Where,

$x_1=0,y_1=3,x_2=2,y_2=0$

Then,

Put all the values into the above formula:

So,

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ m=\frac{0-3}{2-0} \\ m=-\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}$

Final answer:

Hence, the slope of the line is shown below:

$m=-\frac{3}{2}$
