Asked by Makayla
The line graphed below passes through the points (-5, 0) and (0, -4). Use the slope formula to calculate the slope between the given points. Verify the slope by counting the rise over the run on the graph.

Use the slope formula m = (y2 − y1)/(x2 − x1).
Let (x1,y1) = (−5,0) and (x2,y2) = (0,−4):
m = (−4 − 0)/(0 − (−5)) = −4/5.
Check on the graph: from (−5,0) to (0,−4) the run is +5 (right 5) and the rise is −4 (down 4), so slope = rise/run = −4/5, which matches.
