1. You are correct. Slope is a line's rise over its run. This line goes down 2 units for every one unit right.

2. Building off of this, you can see that for this problem, the line goes up 1 unit every 2 units right, making your slope 1/2.

3. This is a bit more confusing than the last two, so you can find the slope of the line using the slope formula. In this case, I will be using points (-5,-2) and (5,5). Slope formula is . This becomes which is .

4. Using the points (-5,4) and (5,-4): . This is and -4/5 in simplest form.

5. The line goes down 5 units every one unit to the right. Because it goes down, our slope is -5.

6. The line goes up 5 units every time it moves right once. The slope is the same as #5 except for the fact that it's positive, so it goes up.

7. The line goes down one unit every 5 units to the right, making our slope .

8. The line goes down 4 units every 2 units to the right, which is -4/2, although I would recommend writing it as -2.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
