Question

use the two points to find the slope of this line. m = -?/blank remember: slope = rise/run

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the two points

From the graph, the two points are \((1, -1)\) and \((2, -5)\).

Step2: Calculate the rise and run

Rise is the change in \(y\)-values: \(-5 - (-1)= -4\). Run is the change in \(x\)-values: \(2 - 1 = 1\).

Step3: Determine the slope components

Slope \(m=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}=\frac{-4}{1}\), so in the form \(m = -\frac{?}{?}\), the numerator is \(4\) and the denominator is \(1\).

Answer:

The numerator (the value in the green box) is \(4\) and the denominator (the value in the brown box) is \(1\). So the answer for the green box (the numerator) is \(4\).
