Can you find the slope of this graph, and explain how you did it?

Answer 1

looks like a slippery slope..... lol sorry never been good with those good luck.

Answer 2

Haha, me neither. Thank you though.(:

Answer 3

Ok to find the slope of a graph to have to find the last point of each side of the arrow and the formula for the slope is slope = rise divided run or rise/run. Connect the two points you have as a triangle, the rise is the vertical side of the triangle and the run is the horizontal bottom of the triangle. To find the rise and/or run count how ever many little boxes (units) it is long and you've got it! The rise for this graph is 6 square units. The run for this graph is 3. Since slope = rise divided by run, the equation for this graph is 6 divided by 3. 6 divided by 3 = 1/2 so the sope for this graph = 1/2. Do you get it?

Answer 4

-2

Answer 5

Yes, I do. Thanks a TON!(:

Answer 6

The slope should be negative since the line(from left ot right) is going down.

Answer 7

Oh I almost forgot if the line goes down from left to right it is a negative, so the slope for this graph would be -1/2 or -2

Answer 8

Right, that part I knew. Thanks again, both of you!

Answer 9

right
