Enter your answer as a whole number or a fraction in simplest form in the box.

Answer 1

m = - 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

m = - 1

Explanation:

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Pick 2 points (-2,0) (0, -2)

We see the y decrease by 2, and the x increase by 2, so the slope is

m = -2/2 = -1

So, the slope is -1
