Tell whether the slope is positive or negative. then find the slope.​

slope is negative

m=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line is positive if it passes through Quadrants III and I. The slope is negative if it passes through II and IV.

yes, this line passes through Quadrant I alongside II and IV, but it doesn't pass through Quadrant III (it has to pass through Quadrant III to be positive)

that means that the slope of this line must be negative

We can calculate the slope (m) with this formula:

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

we can pick two points- for example, (1,3) and (2,2)

label the points:

x1=1

y1=3

x2=2

y2=2

now substitute into the equation

m=(2-3)/(2-1)

m=-1/1

m=-1

the slope is -1

Hope this helps! :)

x = 12

y = 15
