MrMudd183:

Let's start of with this...do you know how to determine slope of a line?

Kierion:

shes off line man

MrMudd183:

The way I was taught to find the slope of a given line on a graph was to count the amount of units it takes to get to each point on the grid. For example...if we used a similar line that was provided such as this one, the slope would be up 3 and over 10 So the slope for this graph provided here *example one* would be 3/10

MrMudd183:

Now that we know how to figure out the slope of a line provided on a graph, what do you believe the slope of this graph is that you provided?

AZ:

You could do what MrMudd183 described or you can also use a formula since you have the points I'll throw in colors for you \(\Large\text{Slope} = \dfrac{\color{green}{y_2} - \color{orange}{y_1}}{\color{cyan}{x_2}-\color{red}{x_1}}\) where you have two points \(\Large (\color{red}{x_1}, \color{orange}{y_1})\) and \(\Large (\color{cyan}{x_2}, \color{green}{y_2})\) So your two points are \((\color{red}{1}, \color{orange}{5})\) and \((\color{cyan}{-1}, \color{green}{-5})\)

AZ:

Whichever method you prefer or find easier. Both lead to the same answer.

thxxx

AZ:

\(\sf \Large Slope = \dfrac{Rise}{Run} = \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)
