help me with slopes?

OpenStudy (gigi1103):

What is the slope of this graph? 1313 −3−3 −13−13 3

OpenStudy (gigi1103):

What is the slope of this graph? 13 −3 −13 3

OpenStudy (karim728):

Rise/ run=3

OpenStudy (misty1212):

HI!!

OpenStudy (gigi1103):

hiya!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

actually it is not 3, since the line is going down not up as you go from left to right

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you have to look carefully, it is hard to see from the graph but if you start at any corner point on the line, count one step to the right, you have to go 3 steps down

OpenStudy (gigi1103):

so its run/down?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

so @karim728 was close, but it is not \(3\) because is going down the slope is \(-3\)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

no not "rise / down" change in y over change in x in this case the change in y is negative

OpenStudy (gigi1103):

thanks! if I try one on my own could you possibly check it?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

sure \[\color\magenta\heartsuit\]
