Question

Find the slope of the line shown on the graph to the right.

I added the picture of the graph below.

Answer 1

Slope is rise/run...
So it's just the change in vertical direction over the change in the horizontal direction

Answer 2

Look for any two points on the line that fall right on the grid shown

Answer 3

actually given on this plot

Answer 4

(3,0) and (0,2)

Answer 5

so just think about the change in y (vertical direction) and x (horizontal direction) between these two points

Answer 6

\[2 \over 3\] am I right?

Answer 7

very close

Answer 8

going from left to right, the change in the vertical direction is down, right?

Answer 9

so the change in the vertical direction is -2

Answer 10

Oh, so it is\[-2 \over 3\]

Answer 11

yep

Answer 12

Thanks.
I don't get why I can't understand this.

Answer 13

No Prob. Just remember, positive is to the right (in horizontal direction) and up (in vertical direction)
