Question

determine the slope of each line given the following information. write your answer in the boxes provided. b

Explanation:

Step1: Identify two points on Line 1

Choose points $(-10, 6)$ and $(0, -3)$ (clear intercepts on the left graph).

Step2: Apply slope formula

Slope $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$
$m = \frac{-3 - 6}{0 - (-10)} = \frac{-9}{10}$

Step3: Identify two points on Line 2

Choose points $(-10, -10)$ and $(-5, 0)$ (clear points on the right graph).

Step4: Apply slope formula

$m = \frac{0 - (-10)}{-5 - (-10)} = \frac{10}{5} = 2$

Answer:

Slope of left line: $\boldsymbol{-\frac{9}{10}}$
Slope of right line: $\boldsymbol{2}$
