Answer 1

@mayankdevnani

Answer 2

@igivemedalsandfollow! can you identify (0,0) , (-1,5) and (1,-5) these points in your graph ?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

good

Answer 5

then,we have a formula for finding the slope of a line :-
\[\large \bf Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]
where,
(x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are points on a straight line.

Answer 6

lets consider two points be :-
(0,0) and (-1,5)

Answer 7

understood?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

good :)

Answer 10

now plug the points in the given formula :-
\[\large \bf Slope=\frac{5-0}{-1-0}=\frac{5}{-1}=-5=\large \bf \color{red}{Answer}\]

Answer 11

so its -5

Answer 12

and we denote SLOPE of a line by `m`

Answer 13

yeah. @igivemedalsandfollow!

Answer 14

do I wrtite -5m??

Answer 15

no,
m=-5

Answer 16

we denote SLOPE=m
