Question

What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

The slope is negative 2 because it goes 2 units down and 1 unit to the right

Answer 2

slope = - 2

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 0) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(0-2)/(1-0)` =
`(-2)/(1)` = - 2
