slope = rise/run |dw:1443499968789:dw| |dw:1443499980991:dw|

$\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }$?

4. jim_thompson5910

first off, is the slope positive or negative? look back at your last post if you aren't sure

5. anonymous

negative!

6. jim_thompson5910

good because we're going down hill as we move from left to right

so slope = rise/run = -3/4
