Question

Which expression can be used to determine the slope of the linear function graphed below?

Answer 1

So remember that the slope formula is
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`, and the 2 coordinates that are given to us are (2,0) and (0,-4).

Using these two points, either
`(-4-0)/(0-2)` or
`(0-(-4))/(2-0)` is acceptable.

Answer 2

we Know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

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

Let

`A(0,-4)\ B(2,0)`

substitute the values in the formula

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

`m=(0+4)/(2-0)`

`m=(4)/(2)=2`

therefore

the answer is the option

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