Chapter 4: Q. 4.59 (page 477)

Find the slope of the line shown.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The slope of the given line is:-43

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

Graph of a line:

02

Step 2. Locate two points on the line whose coordinates are integers

Mark the points(0,-2)and(3,-6)

03

Step 3. Starting with the point on the left, sketch a right triangle, going from the first point to the second point.

Starting at the point(0,-2)sketch right triangle to the point(3,-6)as shown below.

04

Step 4. Count the rise and the run on the legs of the triangle

From the graph,rise=-4andrun=3

05

Step 5. Take the ratio of rise to run to find the slope

Slope,m=riserun

⇒m=-43
