Question

Using the given points and line, determine the slope of the line.
(1, 2) and (2, 1)

Answer 1

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since two points are given, we can determine the slope with these. (1,2) and (2,1) are a negative slope, because one value is increasing, and the other value is decreasing, whichever way you go. When you connect the points, the rise over run is -1 over 1, which is -1/1, or simply -1. The slope is -1.
