Question

What is the slope of the following line?

(I only know that its not 2)

A: -2

B: 2

C: -1/2

D: 1/2

Answer 1

`-(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

We can find the slope by using the slope formula
`(y_(2)-y_(2) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

We can use any 2 points in the line and I will use (0,3) and (6,0)

`(0-3)/(6-0) \\(-3)/(6) \\-(1)/(2)`

Hope this helps please let me know if you have questions

(P.S. Just a tip you can look at a line if its going up then it will be positive but if its going down then its negative so that eliminates two answer choices)
