Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through Point A (-2,0) and Point B (0,2) using m= rise/run

Answer 1

The slope is:

m = 1

Work/explanation:

I am going to utilise the formula:

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

where m equals the slope of the line.

Plug in the data:

`\bf{m=(2-0)/(0-(-2))}`

`\bf{m=(2)/(0+2)}`

`\bf{m=1}`

Hence, m = 1
