Question

What is the slope of this line?

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

Answer 1

-1

Explanation:

first choose two points on the line (0,-2) and (-2,0)

now find the slope-rise over run. rise over run means difference in y/difference in x

(-2-0)/(0-(-2))

=-2/2

=-1

the slope is -1

the slope is the coefficient of x in the equation of the line

Answer 2

Slope(m) = - 1

Explanation:

Let's take two points. (-2,0) and (0,-2)

Slope of the line.

To find the slope of the line passing through the points (-2,0) and (0,-2), we can use the following formula:

`\sf slope = \frac{\textsf{change in y}}{\textsf{change in x}}`

In this case, the change in y is -2-0 = - 2and the change in x is 0-(-2) = 2.

Therefore, the slope of the line is:

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

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-2,0) and (0,-2) is -1.
