Question

How does the slope equal - 1/2 I don't understand please help​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When finding the slope using a graph, you can find it with a method called rise/run. This essentially means a change of y/a change of x

We find this by plugging in the given y points over the given x points

`(2-0)/(-5-(-1))`

`(2)/(-4) =-1/2`

Therefore, the slope is -1/2.
