given the graph find the slope to find a
slope we must understand that a slope of
a line is defined as rise over run rise
is the vertical direction of the line
and run is the horizontal direction of a
line so to start I'm going to pick two
points on this line so I'm picking a
point here and a point here now I'm
going to travel from left to right I'm
going to find the vertical direction the
rise from this point to this point and
in this case to get from this point to
this point I have to go down five so I'm
going to write negative five now I'm
going to find the horizontal direction
so from this point to this point I have
to travel to the right about six times
now I'm going to substitute in these
numbers into my rise over run my rise
would be negative five since I'm going
down fine and my run will be positive
six since I'm going to the right six so
my slope is negative five over six
simplifying it further I get a slope of
negative then five over six and this
completes my problem
