Can you think of two different ways to find the slope, given a graph?
-3/4
Observing the given graph, we can see that the line passes through the points (- 1,2) and (3,- 1). One way to use a graph to find the slope of a line is to count out the change in x and y.
Substitute ( - 1,2) & ( 3,- 1)
a-(- b)=a+b
