Question

Which word describes nether slope of the line ??

Answer 1

Slope is negative

Explanation:

To find slope of the given line , lets pick two points from the given line

(0,0) and (4,-2)

Now use slope formula

`slope = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

(0,0) is (x1,y1) and (4,-2) is (x2,y2)

`slope = (-2-0)/(4-0)`

`slope = (-1)/(2)`

The slope is negative

Answer is option B
