To find the slope of the line ST, we first need to determine the coordinates of points S and T.
Looking at the coordinate grid, it appears that S has the coordinates (-2, 0) and T has the coordinates (2, -3).
The formula to calculate the slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Plugging in the coordinates of S and T, we get:
slope = (-3 - 0) / (2 - (-2))
slope = (-3) / (2 + 2)
slope = -3 / 4
Therefore, the slope of line ST is -3/4, which is option c.
Triangle RST is shown in the coordinate grid. the coordinate of each vertex of the triangle are integers.
what is the slope of ST?
a -4
b 3
c -3/4
d 3/4
