Answer 1

A) -(4)/(5)
B.) -(5)/(4)
C) (5)/(4)
D.) (4)/(5)

Answer 2

slope = "rise over run" = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 3

Choose two points from the graph (x1,y1), (x2,y2)

Answer 4

-(5)/(4) ?

Answer 5

no try again

Answer 6

so (5^2-5^1)/(4^2-4^1) ?

Answer 7

hmmm...where did you get 5^2, 4^2, etc?

Answer 8

Choose any two points on the line
example...(0,2) and (-5,-2) because they're easy to locate

then (-2-2)/(-5-0) = slope =...

Answer 9

I got (4)/(5)

Answer 10

Well done!
