Question

What is the slope of the line illustrated in the picture below?

Note: One scale is equivalent to 1

Answer 1

The slope is -2

Explanation:

Slope = Rise/Run = -2/1 = -2

Answer 2

-2

Explanation:

y = -2x + 2; your y-intercept is [0, 2] and your x-intercept is [1, 0] (not all the time your x-intercept will be an endpoint). Simply do rise\run until you hit another endpoint, starting from your y-intercept. As you can see, you go two blocks south, then one block over east. Do you understand?
