Question

. Find the slope of the line by counting the change in y and the change in x.

-2, -4 & 2 ,-3

Answer 1

\(y\) increases by -1.
\(x\) increases by 4.

Answer 2

5 or 6 ?

Answer 3

so can u help me with gettin the answer

Answer 4

I don't know what you say, but you basically count what both have increased by.

Answer 5

Yes... I can!

Answer 6

\[Slope = {\text{change in }y \over \text{change in }x}\]This is a fact that you start with.

Answer 7

Now count how much \(y\) increases.
-4 becomes -3, so \(y\) increases by 1.

Answer 8

-2 becomes 2, so \(x\) increases by 4.

Answer 9

Since change is same as increase, we have\[Slope = {\text{Change in }y \over \text{Change in }x} = {1 \over 4}\]

Answer 10

okay so

Answer 11

so what now

Answer 12

1/4 is the slope right
