Chapter 4: Q. 232 (page 492)

Find the slope of the line shown in the graph .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The slope of the line is-12.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1.  Given information .

Consider the given graph .

02

Step 2.  Formula used .

The formula used to find the slope is m=riserun. where rise measures the vertical change and the run measures the horizontal change between the points on the line .

03

Step 3.  Finding the slope .

To find the slope of the line locate two points on the graph whose coordinates are 0,3and 6,3. Starting from 0,3sketch a right triangle to6,3.

Here count the rise and run .

rise=-3and run=6

Further simplify .

Substitute the values in the slope formula .

m=riserunm=-36=-12

Therefore the slope is-12.
