Here, slope tells how much y changes for each 1-unit change in x. A negative slope means the line goes downward from left to right, while a positive slope means it goes upward. Always subtract the coordinates in the same order for y and x so the sign of the slope stays correct. The correct answer is -1\/3, which matches the calculation or reasoning shown.","mcq_options":[{"right":"no","answer":"1"},{"right":"no","answer":"-3"},{"right":"no","answer":"9"},{"right":"yes","answer":"-1\/3"},{"right":"no","answer":"2"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":2750,"title":"Advanced Mathematics","slug":"advanced-mathematics"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":2785,"title":"Coordinate Geometry","slug":"coordinate-geometry"},{"id":2725,"title":"Slope","slug":"slope"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/21161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=21161"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=21161"},{"taxonomy":"education_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/education_level?post=21161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
