Question
I need an answer somebody else asked this same question but their answer was wrong.
The answer has to be on of the options below.
![**Educational Content: Calculating the Slope from a Graph**
**Graph Description:**
The graph depicts a red straight line on a Cartesian plane. This line intercepts the x-axis at approximately (5, 0) and the y-axis at approximately (0, 6), suggesting that these are the x-intercept and y-intercept, respectively.
**Instructions:**
Use the x-intercept and the y-intercept to calculate the slope of the given line.
**Choices:**
- \(-\frac{2}{3}\)
- 1.5
- \(-\frac{5}{4}\)
- \(6\)
- \(\frac{4}{9}\)
- \(-\frac{4}{6}\)
- \(\frac{6}{1}\)
- \(-\frac{5}{1}\)
- \(-1.5\)
- \(-1.0\)
**Analysis:**
To find the slope (m) of the line, use the formula:
\[ m = \frac{\text{change in } y}{\text{change in } x} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]
With the intercepts:
- x-intercept: (5, 0)
- y-intercept: (0, 6)
Substitute into the formula:
\[ m = \frac{0 - 6}{5 - 0} = \frac{-6}{5} = -1.2 \]
Thus, the correct slope for the line is \(-1.2\), which is not directly listed among the choices. Choose the closest negative slope option if available.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F882bd528-64e4-4aaf-8446-62c0039b4078%2Fbd76855f-043c-408e-9ae8-6b7e4ecfa38d%2Fknkngze_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
