Question

What is the line’s slope?

Answer 1

slope = -
`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 1) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(-1-0)/(0-(-4))` =
`(-1)/(0+4)` =
`(-1)/(4)` = -
`(1)/(4)`

Answer 2

I’m guessing it wants you to find the gradient. So 1/3?
