Slope = -7/5

Explanation:

Pick any two rows you want. I'll select the first two rows.

Each row represents an (x,y) point

The first row means (-8,55) is one point and the second row means (2,41) is another point.

Use these two points in the slope formula to get

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (41-55)/(2- (-8) )

m = (41-55)/(2 + 8)

m = -14/10

m = -7/5 is the slope

The negative slope means the line goes downhill as you move from left to right.

Specifically, every time it drops 7 units the line moves over to the right 5 units.

slope = rise/run = -7/5

rise = -7, negative rise means we go down 7 spaces

run = 5 means we move to the right 5 spaces

it would be 0.18 because when the other choices are converted they equal those two numbers.   hope this !

perpendicular to x*4 means it's y = -1/4*x+k

so for y = 7 and x = 2

we have 7 = -1/4*2 + k so k = 7.5

so the equation is   y = -1/4x + 7.5
