Question

What is the slope of this line?

A. 1/2

B. -1/2

C. -2

D. 2

Answer 1

-2

Explanation:

Slope:

Choose any two points on the line and find the slope using the below mentioned formula.

(0,10) ⇒ x₁ = 0 & y₁ = 10

(4,2) ⇒ x₂ = 4 & y₂ = 2

`\boxed{\bf Slope = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)}`

`\sf =(2-10)/(4-0)\\\\\\=(-8)/(4)\\\\=-2`
