anonymous · Answer

Negative.

thesmartone · Answer

Since it is negative we can eliminate choices A and C.

thesmartone · Answer

$\Huge Slope~Formula=\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{x_2-x_1 }$

anonymous · Answer

its B for a fact

thesmartone · Answer

Without actually calculating the exact value of the slope you can arrive at the correct answer choice after having eliminated A and C.

thesmartone · Answer

One of the points is (-1,-1) and ??

aum · Answer

The magnitude of slope in choice B is > 1.
The magnitude of slope in choice D is < 1.

Slope = rise / run = y-intercept / x-intercept.

aum · Answer

Is the magnitude of the y-intercept greater than the magnitude of the x-intercept or less?

anonymous · Answer

just do rise over run fitrs rise go to the top one then go down till u get even withe the bottum thats -5 othats your rise the run is when you go left or right u are going rite 2 so your ancer is -5/2
