Answer
The correct answer is D. The slope of the line is negative, so that rules out choices A and C. The rise of
the line is (-5) and the run is 2. Slope is generally left as an improper fraction, rather than as a mixed
number.
Slope can also be calculated if you know any two points on the line. You can find the points yourself from
a graph or you may be given the points without any graphical representation of the line. The formula
follows:
Example
What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (4, -7) and (-2, 5)?
