Question

find the slope of the line graphed below.

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points

Let the two points be $(-3, 2)$ and $(1, - 2)$.

Step2: Use slope - formula

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

Step3: Calculate the value

$m=\frac{-4}{4}=-1$.

Answer:

$-1$
