can some one help

Answer 4

Slope = \[\Large\frac{ Rise }{ Run }\]
So i Graphed the points:

If you look at the rise it is 2 and the run is one
2/1 = 2
So your slope would be -2, Since it is decreasing

Another way to determine the slope is by using the point slop formula
\[m=\frac{ (y_1-y_2) }{ (x_1-x_2) }\]
So if
\(y_1\) = 3
\(y_2\) = -7
\(x_1\) = -1
\(x_2\) = 4

Then you substitute and solve
\[m=\frac{ (3+7) }{ (-1-4) }\]
Which is
\(\Large\frac{ 10 }{ -5 }\)
Can you solve That? It ends up being -2
So your slope would be -2
