Answer:
Negative
-3/5
-3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope formula is y2-y1 over x2-x1.
The x2 and y2 are basically just a second point on the line that comes after the original pair. The original pair would be (-3, 1) because it gives you the ordered pair and I'm lazy. The second pair would be (2, -2) as it gives you that pair too. The y2 and x2 would be the (2, -2) and ordered pairs are in the form of (x, y). So, the formula for slope would become -2 - 1 / 2 - (-3).
-2 - 1 / 2 - (-3)
-2 - 1 / 2 + 3 (two negatives equals a positive! Not in morals though, only in math)
-3 / 5
-3/5.
The slope is negative, because the line is going downwards.
The slope is also negative because it's - 3.5.
The m just refers to the slope intercept form of all information about the line, as the equation/representation of a line would be y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The y-intercept is 1, as that is where the line goes through the y-axis (the vertical line with the arrows in the middle of the graph and is labeled Y)
The slope intercept form would therefore be:
y = -3/5x - 1.
The m would be the slope which is -3/5.
Just answered for people in the future or referencing.
