Find the slope of the line graphed
A) -4/5
B)- 5/4
C) 4/5
D) 5/4

Answer:
B) [tex]\frac{-5}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Take any two points
(x₁ , y₁) = ( -4 , 0) & (x₂ , y₂) = (0 , -5)
[tex]slope=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{-5-0}{0-[-4]}\\\\=\frac{-5}{0+4}\\\\=\frac{-5}{4}[/tex]
