you're very close

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

notice how as you read the graph from left to right, the line falls down so this slope is negative

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

going from (0,3) to (1,1) we... go down 2 (rise = -2) over to the right 1 (run = 1) slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhhh yea so the answer is -2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Another way... rise over run... then if the slope appears to go up from left to right, it is positive. If goes down from left to right, it is negative. So... rise over run.... rise is y axis and run is x axis.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes correct. The slope is -2
