Question

Identify the type of slope and then find the slope of the line.

Answer 1

• -1/2, negative slope

Explanation:

As per graph it is visible that the slope is negative, it goes down when x-value increases

Use two points to find the slope:

• (-4, -1) and (0, -3)

Slope formula:

• m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Value of the slope:

• m = (-3 - (-1))/(0 - (-4)) = -2/4 = -1/2
