Question

find the slope of the line graphed below.

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points

Let's take two points on the line: $(0,1)$ and $(-1, - 2)$.

Step2: Apply slope - formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Here, $x_1 = 0,y_1 = 1,x_2=-1,y_2=-2$. Then $m=\frac{-2 - 1}{-1-0}=\frac{-3}{-1}=3$.

Answer:

$3$
