Question

A. Find the slope of the line that passes through the two points: (4, 4) and (0, 2).

Answer 1

The slope is -2/-4 or simplified -1/-2

Explanation:

First you would use the slope formula which is m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

m = 2-4/0-4 which equals -2/-4

Then simplify to get -1/-2

Answer 2

Slope (m)= -2/-4= 0.5

-2/-4 as fraction form

or

0.5 as decimal form

Explanation:

slope (m)= -2/-4= 0.5

points belong to an increasing linear function

equation: y=0.5x+2
