Chapter 4: Q. 238 (page 493)

Find the slope of the line shown in the graph .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The slope of the line is-54.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information .

Consider the given graph .

02

Step 2. Formula used .

The formula used to find the slope is m=riserun. where rise measures the vertical change and the run measures the horizontal change between the two points on the line .

03

Step 3. Finding the slope.

To find the slope of the line locate two points on the graph whose coordinates are -1,3and -1,4. Starting from the -1,3sketch a right triangle to -1,4.

Here count the rise and run .

rise=-4and run=5

Substitute the values in slope formula.

m=riserunm=5-4

Therefore the slope is-54.
