Question

Can someone please help me?

Answer 1

The answer is -2. -2 is the slope.

Answer 2

The slope is -2/5.

I picked 2 points on the graph and found the slope using the slope formula.

   y₂ - y₁         -4 - (-2)         -4 + 2         -2
 ------------ = -------------- = ------------ = ------
   x₂ - x₁          5 - 0                 5              5

You can also find slope by using rise/run:
1). Pick 2 points on a graph.
2). The goal is to connect those two points. 
3). Count a certain amount of units up and across to get to your second point.
4). If your second point is negative, you have to count a certain amount of units down and across to reach your second point.

I hope I could help you!
