Question

What is the slope of the line

Answer 1

1 Down and 2 Over

Explanation:

You should be able to move down one and two times over if you calculate with your hands. This should lead to the following point, and so on. Hope it helps!

Answer 2

-1/2

Explanation:

1. First, let's take two points from the line.

• For this case, let's take (-7, -2) and (-5, -3).

2. Next, to find the slope, we use the formula
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)` , plug in the values, and simplify.

• 
  `(-3-(-2))/(-5-(-7))`
• 
  `(-3+2)/(-5+7)`
• 
  `-(1)/(2)`

Therefore, the slope is -1/2.
