Choose the correct slope of the line shown on the graph below

The slope is 4/5 Just remember that slope is rise/run

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you figure that out though?

OpenStudy (ghazi):

just use y2-y1/x2-x1 ...you will get the slope and these four points are coordinates

Okay thank you

Ok:) When you look at the graph, find two points that are on the line. I found (-5, -2) and (0, 2). You can do it like what @ghazi said or just follow the rise/run method...count the spaces up(numerator) and then the spaces across(denominator). If the line goes down then the numerator will just be negative:)

Hope that helps!

But typically following the slope formula is a lot easier that doing the rise/run thing! Just remember: y2 - y1 over x2 - x1
