Question

Please help me answer this slope question!

FIND SLOPE OF THE LINE ( give me the coordinates too!)

Answer 1

Slope = -1/2.

Explanation:

2 points on the line are (10, 0) which is where the line passes through the x-axis and (0, 5 ) where it passes through the y-axis.

The slope = (difference in y coordinates) / ( corresponding difference in x coordinates)

= (5 - 0) / (0 - 10)

= -5/10

= -1/2.
