All right More math drills for you Check out this

00:07

graph Alright What is the slope of the line given

00:10

in the graph Right here shmoop All right well right

00:16

away people we know the slope is downward so it's

00:19

going to be a negative stuff so we can get

00:21

rid of cd andy Like right away Yeah put away

00:24

that slope intercept equation We confined the slope by using

00:27

the graph here to do some good old fashioned counting

00:30

Yeah take off your shoes and socks We may need

00:32

your clothes In this case we're looking for vertical change

00:35

over horizontal change And imagine the two d stick figure

00:39

of your choice Ours has a really awesome green mohawk

00:42

running along the x axis right there That's your horizontal

00:45

change Then think about him either Rising up along the

00:48

y axis says if he were climbing a hill or

00:52

sinking along the y axis as if he were you

00:55

know running down a hill that'll give you the slope

00:57

of the line If you calculate for the rise of

00:59

the run well starting at the y intercept and going

01:02

to the point to dig out of five When the

01:04

line goes down three units and runs along the x

01:07

axis for two units there's a vertical change of negative

01:09

three in a horizontal change of positive too So the

01:13

slope of the line Yes Vertical over horizontal Negative three

01:16

over to negative three abs That's it That's our answer 00:01:19.546 --> [endTime] So the answer right there is beef
