Question

What is the slope???????

Answer 1

Answer:
`m=-3`

Explanation:

The slope of a line can be calculated with the following formula:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

As you can notice, the slope of a line can be obtained by dividing the difference of the y-coordinates of any two points on a line by the difference of their x-coordinates.

Then, you must chosse two points on the given line. You can choose the following points:

`(2,-4)\\\\(0,2)`

Now you can say that:

`y_2=-4\\y_1=2\\\\x_2=2\\x_1=0`

Therefore, substituting those coordinates into the formula and evaluating, you get that the slope of the line shown in the picture is the following:

`m=(-4-2)/(2-0)\\\\m=(-6)/(2)\\\\m=-3`
