Use the image to answer the question.
A coordinate plane shows four quadrants with both the x-axis and the y-axis ranging from negative 10 to positive 10 in increments of 2. Two points are plotted and joined by a line. The plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis negative 3 comma 1 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma negative 4 right parenthesis. A line connects the two plotted points and extends beyond the points in both directions.
Find the slope of the line given its graph.

To find the slope of a line, we can use the formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinates) / (change in x-coordinates)
From the graph, we can see that the line goes up 5 units in the y-direction (from y=-4 to y=1) and goes right 5 units in the x-direction (from x=2 to x=-3).
So, the slope of the line is:
slope = (5)/(5) = 1.
Therefore, the slope of the line is 1.
To find the slope of the line given its graph, we can use the formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinates)/(change in x-coordinates)
Looking at the plotted points (-3, 1) and (2, -4), we can see that the change in y-coordinates is -4 - 1 = -5, and the change in x-coordinates is 2 - (-3) = 5.
So the slope of the line is:
slope = (-5)/(5) = -1
Therefore, the slope of the line is -1.
To find the slope of the line given its graph, we need to use the formula for slope:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
Looking at the plotted points (-3, 1) and (2, -4), we can see that the change in y is -4 - 1 = -5, and the change in x is 2 - (-3) = 5.
Plugging these values into the slope formula, we get:
slope = (-5) / 5 = -1
Therefore, the slope of the line is -1.
