Slope of a Linear Equation
We can use the slope equation to help us do this:
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
- [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] are two points that fall on the line
Solving the Question
⇒ First, pick two clear points that falls on the given graph:
(0,2), (4,-3)
⇒ Plug these into the equation and solve:
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\m=\dfrac{-3-2}{4-0}\\\\m=\dfrac{-5}{4}[/tex]
Answer
B) -5/4
