Answer:
Using the slope formula with points (0,-1) and (-4,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: find the points, (0,-1) and (-4,4)
Step 2: Insert plot points into Slope formula: (tip: M means slope)
m(slope)= [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex] -> m(slope)=[tex]\frac{4-(-1)}{-4-0}[/tex]
Step 3: Solve:
m(slope)=[tex]\frac{5}{-4}[/tex]
Answer:
Slope is [tex]\frac{5}{-4}[/tex]
or m = [tex]\frac{5}{-4}[/tex]
OR (if your teacher wants the answer in decimal form rounded to the nearest 10th.) m = -1.3
