Question

What is the Slope of the line

Answer 1

slope = -
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 0) ← 2 points on the line

substitute these values into the formula for m

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