Answer:
The slope is -1.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached graph
Required
The slope
Let each box represents 1 unit on both axis.
So, we have:
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (-3,4)[/tex]
[tex](x_2,y_2) = (2,-5)[/tex]
The slope m is calculated as:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{-5 - 4}{2 - (-3)}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{-5 - 4}{2 +3}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{-9}{5}[/tex]
[tex]m=-1.8[/tex]
