Question

Write the coordinates of the two points on the line then find the slope

Answer 1

A seen from the graph, the line passes through the points:

`(-2,6),(1,0)`

The slope is given by the formula:

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m=(0-6)/(1-(-2)) \\ m=(-6)/(3) \\ m=-2 \end{gathered}`

Hence the slope is -2.
