Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
You need 2 coordinates from your graph as long as the line you have is completely straight. You have 2 points it is (0,3) & (8,0)
So your y2 is 0
y1 is 3
So your x2 is 8
x1 is 0
Plug in and solve (keep in mind you should be expecting a negative slope since your line is sloping downwards as you advance to the right.
m = (0-3)/(8-0)
m = -3/8
m = slope = -3/8x = -0.375x
Slope is given as a number followed by value x
