What is the slope of the line shown?

Answer:
- [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
( [tex]x_{1}[/tex] , [tex]y_{1}[/tex] )
( [tex]x_{2}[/tex] , [tex]y_{2}[/tex] )
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]
~~~~~~~~~
( - 2, 6 )
( 2, 5 )
m = [tex]\frac{6-5}{-2-2}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Answer: y = -1/4x + 5.5
Slope formula is as follows: m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
7 - 6 / - 2 + 6
Since our line goes down we have a negative slope.
This gives us a slope of: m = - 1/4
The last number in our slope formula states how high/low we start on the y axis. Looking at our graph im assuming we start at 5.5
