Question

Can someone give me the answer and explain how please?

Answer 1

-1/3

Find two points where the line intersects with a grid line, like (2,0) and (-1,1) then plug in one y and subtract it by the other y, and do it in the same order for the x on the bottom. in this case iys 0-1/2+1 (because it's negative), which gives us -1/3

Answer 2

The answer to your question is m = -1/3

Explanation:

Process

1.- Get two points from the graph

A = (2, 0)

B = (-4, 2)

2.- Find the slope of the line

slope = m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

x1 = 2 y1 = 0 x2 = -4 y2 = 2

-Substitution

m = (2 - 0) / (-4 - 2)

-Simplification

m = 2 / -6

m = -1/3
