are you looking for the slope of the line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok you know it is positive because the line is going up as you read from left to right, so ignore the first two options, they are wrong because they are negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also we can guess that the slope is a little less than one, so we know the answer but we can also compute the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you see a corner point at \((-5,-2)\) and another at \((0,2)\) so that means 5 steps to the right, 4 steps up, slope is \(\frac{4}{5}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you i get it now it was hard for me at first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw don't forget it is comparing \(y\)'s to \(x\)'s so the up 4 goes on top of the fraction and the over 5 goes on the bottom it is easy to get this confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it it but thank you
