Question

What is the slope of the line graphed below?

Answer 1

The answer is -1/4

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the slope is the following:

`(y_2 -y_1)/(x_2-y_1)`

In the graph above your two points are (1,2) and (5,1), so with that said you just plug in the numbers into the formula.

y₂ = 2

y₁ = 1

x₂ = 1

x₁ = 5

`(2-1)/(1-5) = -(1)/(4)`

Answer 2

-1/4 using rise/run hope this helpedddddddd
