Answer:

-5/9

Explanation:

The exact point at which the lines cuts the axis are unclear so I used the closest round number to substitute into the gradient formula. From the answer I noticed two things

Firstly it was a negative gradient...therefore the second and the fourth option wouldn't work

Secondly (if I were to ignore the operation) the number is less than 1 which would mean that it couldnt be an improper fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator.

If you take what you notice about both the operation and the size of the number you would find that -5/9 fits the criteria the best and is therefore the answer to your question.


(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) \\ = (0 - ( - 1))/( - 2 - 0) \\ = - (1)/(2)
