Question

the graph shows the relationship between the volume of a rectangular prism and the volume of a square pyramid with an identical base and height. prism vs. pyramid prism volume (cubic units) what is the slope of the line? -3 1/3 1 1/3 3

Explanation:

Step1: Identify two points on the line

Let's take the points (1, 9) and (10, 2).

Step2: Use slope - formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Here, $x_1 = 1,y_1 = 9,x_2=10,y_2 = 2$. Then $m=\frac{2 - 9}{10 - 1}=\frac{-7}{9}=-\frac{1}{3}\times3=-\frac{1}{3}$.

Answer:

$-\frac{1}{3}$
