Question

Determine the slope of each line. Use the points given. (Reduce if possible)

Answer 1

2)

the given points are,

`\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(2,2) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(4,1) \end{gathered}`

The formula to find the slope of the graph is,

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

thus, plug in the points respectively,

`\begin{gathered} m=(1-2)/(4-2) \\ m=(-1)/(2) \\ m=-(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

The slope of the given graph is -1/2.
