Short Answer

Expert verified

The slope is-23.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information.

The slope of the geoboard.

02

Step 2. Slope of a geoboard.

Use the definition of slope:m=riserun.

Start at the left peg and count the units down and to the right to reach the second peg.

The figure will be now as

03

Step 3.  Rise and Run.

The rise is -2.m=-2run.
The run is 3.m=-23.

The slope is-23.

This means that the line drops 2 unit for every 3 units of run.
