Question

What is the slope of line m?

On a coordinate plane, a straight line goes through (negative 2, 1), (0, 0), and (2, negative 1).

Answer 1

its 2/3

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given:

A straight line goes through (-2,1), (0,0), and (2,-1).

To find:

The slope of the given line.

Solution:

Slope formula

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

Consider any two points from the given points.

The line goes through (-2,1) and (0,0). So, the slope of the line is

`m=(0-1)/(0-(-2))`

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

Therefore, the slope of the line is
`m=-(1)/(2)`.
