Question

1. find the slope of the graph.

process:

• pick 2 points.
• draw a triangle, create a table, or use the slope formula to find the slope.

m =

1. mr. slope guy is a helpful way to remember the rule about the 4 types of lines and their slope. try drawing for yourself to memorize.

try to find the slope (1) using mr. slope guy, then (2) using math (table, formula, or counting method.)

m =

m =

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points on the line

Let's choose the points (-8, 4) and (8, -8).

Step2: Apply the slope - formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Here, $x_1=-8,y_1 = 4,x_2=8,y_2=-8$. Then $m=\frac{-8 - 4}{8-(-8)}=\frac{-12}{16}=-\frac{3}{4}$.

Answer:

$-\frac{3}{4}$
