Question

Find the slope of the graph below and provide an explanation on how you found it.

Answer 1

We can use the points (-1, 1) and (1, 0) to solve.

Slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

= 0-1/1-(-1)

= -1/2

Therefore, the slope is -1/2.

Best of Luck!

Answer 2

= -1/2

Explanation:

Pick two points

(1,0) and (3,-1)

Then use the slope formula

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

= (-1 -0)/(3-1)

= -1 /2
