Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we can see that the line goes thru the point (-1,2) and (4,-2) now to find slope we just find change in y over change in x
more visually:
(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
so for the point (-1,2) let’s say
-1 = x1
and
2 = y1
and for the point (4,-2) let’s say
4 = x2
and
-2 = y2
to find slope we plug in the values to our slope equation and we get this:
(2-(-2))/( -1-4)
(2+2)/-5
4/-5
so slope is -4/5
because to get from (-1,2) to (-4,-2) you have to move down 4 and to the right 5
