Question

What is the slope of line m?

A.2



B.-2



C.-1/2



D.1/2

Answer 1

Hi there!

Explanation:

Lesson: Exploring Slope/ and slope intercept form

First, you use slope formula.

`SLOPE=(Y^2-Y^1)/(X^2-X^1)=(RISE)/(RUN)`

`((-4)-0=-4)/(0-(-2)=0+2=2)=(-4)/(2)=(-4/2)/(2/2)=(-2)/(1)=-2`

Slope is -2

Answer is -2

*the answer must have a negative sign.*

I hope this helps you!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)

Answer 2

Take the two points, (-2, 0) and (0, -4).

Use the slope formula:
`(x2-x1)/(y2-y1)`.

Plug the numbers in.

`(0-(-2))/(-4-0)` = -
`(1)/(2)`

C) -1/2
