Answer:

A 1/2

Explanation:

(2, -1.5) & (4, -0.5)

To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(-0.5 - (-1.5)) / (4 - 2)

Simplify the parentheses.

= (-0.5 + 1.5) / (2)

= 1 / 2

Simplify the fraction.

1/2

This is your slope.

Hope this helps!
