Question

Which statement about the slope of the line is true?

It is −2 throughout the line.

It is fraction negative 1 over 2 throughout the line.

The slope from point O to point A is one-half times the slope of the line from point A to point B.

The slope from point O to point A is two times the slope of the line from point A to point B.

Answer 1

Answer: Choice B) Slope is -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say we started at point B (-6, 3). To get to point A(-4,2), we move down 1 and to the right 2. This movement determines the slope.

slope = rise/run = -1/2

rise = -1 and run = 2

A negative rise value means we go downhill when moving to the right.
