Answer 1

The formula for slope from a graph is given by:

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

We pick two points from the graph (x, y) at point 1 & (x, y) at another point

We can pick the x-intercept (where the line touches the x-axis) as the first point, we have the coordinate to be (4, 0)

We can pick the y-intercept (where the line touches the y-axis) as the second point, we have the coordinate to be (0, 3)

We substitute these points into the slope equation above, we have:

$m=\frac{3-0}{0-4}=-\frac{3}{4}$

The slope (m) = -3/4
