Question

What is the slope of the line graph?

Enter your answer in the box

Answer 1

(-6,6) (6, 2)
slope = (6 - 2)/(-6 -6)
= 4/-12
= -1/3

answer
slope = -1/3

Answer 2

Answer: The slope of the line is
`-(1)/(3)`.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph it is noticed that the line passing through many points.

The coordinates of three given points are (-6,6), (0,4) and (6,2).

If a line passing through two points
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)`, the slope of the lie is defined by,

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

The line passing through two points (0,4) and (6,2). So the slope of the line is,

`m=(2-4)/(6-0)`

`m=(-2)/(6)`

`m=-(1)/(3)`

Therefore, the slope of the line is
`-(1)/(3)`.
