nnesha · Answer

line is increasing or decreasing ?

nnesha · Answer

|dw:1440945121141:dw|
if line start from 3rd quadrant to 1st quadrant then line would be increasing

surryyy · Answer

oh ok

nnesha · Answer

|dw:1440945214788:dw|
if line start from 2nd quadrant to 4th quadrant then decreasing

nnesha · Answer

so now look at the graph tell is it increasing or decreasing ?

surryyy · Answer

decreasing

nnesha · Answer

yes right 
if line is decreasing then slope would be negative 
if line is increasing then slope would be positive

nnesha · Answer

slope = rise /run 

|dw:1440945466511:dw|
or you can pick two points to find slope

nnesha · Answer

pick two points !

nnesha · Answer

two points means 
(x,y)(x,y) two order pair

nnesha · Answer

or you can use the formula `slope=rise/run` to find slope 
how many units it's going down from the y-intercept and then left ? |dw:1440945748106:dw|
